Tara has no clue about Pairs skating. American pairs are more powerful skaters then Russian teams? :confused:

As planned? Why would it be planned? According to the Sochi site, they missed a combo on the first SBS jump.

One day I want to be watching live when Marissa lands that throw quad salchow on one foot because it will be glorious.

They look happy :)

Lol the French commentators are mocking Marissa's American accent.

Canadian commentators: the throw 4S "adds an element of danger to their danger-themed program"

I thought that was a funny comment.

So thrilled for Marissa and Simon! Just to think a few months ago, many thought they wouldn't make it to the Olympics. And not only did they made it, they turned in four great skates! WOW. That 4S was so close. So awesome in the air, just needs to get that free leg out in the landing!

Why would they do that? She is an American, of course she would have an American accent?!?
