I was almost freaking out when I started looking at Alex's face towards the end.

Oh wow, poor Alex...
ETA: But, you know, I gotta give Maia tons of credit. She could tell big brother was not feeling well, and was worried, but she sold the program for both of them. Good for her...
Me too :(Originally Posted by blue_idealist
As much as I recognize the difficulty of the Shibutanis routine I feel like I am watching the " next stars" that you see on Dancing with the Stars after the real professionals like W/ P just skated.
OK, I admit it, the entire time I was waiting for Alex Shibutani to puke on Maia's dress.
Can the Shibs please win 2014 Olympics? Please?
I would not be surprised if some of the skaters have caught colds with the short turn around and travel from nationals to this event. Alex certainly looks a bit pale and under the weather. Good for him for pushing through so well.
I was so nervous about their lifts the whole time.
This is complete ....
Low, but I understand it. He could barely get through, and I bet the last lift was judged overlong.
Why didn't they rush him to a doctor?
Oh my gosh, Alex! I agree, he skated like a champ, I actually gasped when he immediately fell to his knees at the end. He was so pale throughout the dance, I hope he goes and gets the rest he clearly needs.
Game on Shibs! Kudos to Alex for being such a tough competitor
I selfishly don't want them to so that they will stay in through the next quad... not sure they would if they win in Sochi.
Wow- Alex is such the fighter! Good for him.
