I love the Onion. The humor/satire is right up my alley.

The best part was the line about Kostner landing her triple axel in Sochi.

If only!
Having water underneath the ice in ice-rinks could bring a whole new dimension of excitement to the sport.

Sometimes if you don't tell people really clearly that it's a Joke article, they will get very indignant about things.
But that is funny too.

Not Carolina Kostner at all.

"......At press time, crews were attempting another dive after initial efforts had only managed to recover a sequined headband and several loose rhinestones.

I wonder what they would have recovered had it been Johnny Weir who fell thru the ice.

Not Carolina Kostner at all.

It would seem someone needs to start doing a better job of checking the ice depths since this is a recurring problem.

I wish they hadn't named the skater. Fans could have had hours of fun on the fs boards as they generated 30 page threads speculating on the identity of the mystery skater.

This vid was on youtube very early. The original photoshopper's account has long since been cancelled, but others have reuploaded it.
