Oh this Olympics! Tsk tsk...

They should get to go to the Olympics, and I'm so happy for that. But expecting them to win or even medal is asking a lot. Ice dance is less about talent and more about establishment. The established teams win. Look for Belbin & Agosto to challenge for the 2010 crown.... but if they don't give this one to the Russians it will only be because they fell 20 times and people would get mad if they got better than silver.

I don't care what anyone says about Fusar Poli and Margoglio, her showmanship combined with the crazy Italian crowd is going to make for an interesting competition. Yes she has an ugly dye job and looks like a tranny, but that's an ice dance diva for you. Both Italian teams skated very well and with a lot of Latin fire. Even their costumes were fiery.
"If I skate like this, I want to skate 10 years,'' Fusar-Poli joked.
