I'm waiting for the NBC fluff with Plushenko presented as Russian Villain. :popcorn: It's his 4th and last Olympic fluff, it'd better be the best of them!:thumbsup::agree:

I don't know... NBC's Plushy coverage so far has been quite... benign, actually. But, I agree, if they are to do one, it should be one for the ages. Considering this is Plushy's fourth and last Olympics, I will settle for nothing less than Most Exalted Super Villain in the History of All Sports (not just figure skating). And the music choice better be good as well!

This drawing from @sim_es_aba is one of the best things you'll see today. Awesome! #GoTeamUSA pic.twitter.com/AFgq2aL5Z3

The fan who drew it is from Sendai, Japan. I LOVE IT. So cute and adorable and quite true to form -- Jason's Russian spilt, Charlie and Meryl's curve lift (and Charlie's hair, hehe) and the Shibutanis' Thriller pose.

Jason Brown, Zhang/Bartholomay, and Gold just appeared for a couple of seconds on "NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams."

The closing tape piece was about a female Team USA moguls skier who broke her leg while training in Sochi this week, but who insisted on walking with crutches in the Opening Ceremony.

The Team USA skaters -- at the Opening Ceremony in their official sweaters -- said how inspiring she was to them.

They all were standing in a row together, but at first I didn't even recognize them ... until Jason's voice rose above the others with his distinctive inflection and energetic warmth as he expressed support for her. :)

Jason Brown posted one of his famous photo collages on Instagram after the team event: http://instagram.com/p/kQBSipTXCn/

I don't even know where to begin...The team event was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, the excitement just continued to build...I am so honored to be a part of this team, and to have represented team USA in the first ever figure skating team event! Im so proud of my teammates and the performances they put out! I've looked up to these 7 athletes for years...whether watching them through my computer, screaming at the TV, or cheering as a huge fan from the stands at completions they are my heroes, my role models, and now and forever, my teammates. They've been huge inspirations to me, so standing on that medal stand tonight, alongside them was truly special...It's a moment I will never forget and sharing it with these 7 unbelievable athletes was beyond a dream come true. We will always be Olympic Bronze Medalists together, as a TEAM!! #sochi2014 #teamusa

Now everyone say it with me. "AWWWWWWWWWWW."

Also impressed that he typed that whole thing from his phone.

Meryl Davis did too: http://instagram.com/p/kOjS5hjEYr/

Plushy on Brian (via Googletranslate):

http://www.centre-presse.fr/article...omme-l-un-des-tres-grands-de-notre-sport.html

"I feel a tremendous respect for Brian Joubert, I consider him one of the very best of our sport"


Thus says Yevgeny Plushenko about Poitevin. At 31, one is nicknamed "the Tsar" (Olympic champion, triple world champion, five-time European Champion) involved, as Joubert, in his last Olympics, home to Russia. "Brian managed an incredible career. He is the only survivor against which I fought that is always there. This is all the more impressive that it remains competitive for the Games, as I am. It represents the physical skating, muscular, powerful, pleasing the public. His contribution to the sport is priceless. Brian is very popular, admired around the world. In Russia, it is a true star. This is why I invited my tour in Russia after the Games. And also because I consider him a friend. " A beautiful tribute from a great champion.


(I adore that photo of Brian and Plushy from 2004.)

In a Tonight show sketch with Jimmy Fallon and Will Ferrell, Michelle Obama just said that figure skating is her favorite Winter Olympic sport. :cool:
