The live result link actually directs to the one for ice dance SP.
No one watches Pairs now?

What the heck are Eurosport 2 thinking? Tennis, and a rerun at that?! What?! Maybe the commentators all needed an extended break after all the drama...

And Eurosport2 Nordic is showing old soccer goals!!! After the men's free the commentator said they would be back with the pairs in 15 minutes and now, 50 minutes later they are still showing old soccer goals! Ridiculous and infuriating! How many hours of soccer and snooker do they show in a year and how many hours of figure skating? Just wondering....

Why why why does almost every American male pairs skater galumph around the ice like a truck driver? Why????

I'll go make that pitcher of mimosas. Hmm, maybe given all the sturm und drang I should make that a keg...

:)

Mimosa:love:? That sounds like a better idea than watching pairs now. My back hurts from the drama and my head gets dizzy at the toxicity of the men Fs thread.

Still needs a lot of work but a few innovative moves there - but then Canadian teams seem to excel at that.

BTW sorry to go off topic but how does one add an avatar here? Can't do it ...
