Surely these young skaters can find some new music to skate to rather than the same old Fever, Jailhouse Rock, etc. I understand skating to the same classical pieces that have been skated to forever for competition, but isn't the exhibition their chance to show their individuality and personality a bit?

well the exhibition had a "theme" this year.... so it makes sense...

and Meryl and Charlie didn't skate to a song that's overused.

Isn't this the ifrst time they showed each of the gold medalist's LP during the exhibition???

ABC reshowed long programs during the exhibitions before. I distinctly remember them doing it in 1998. It always makes me scream. In NBC's case they did still show a lot of skaters so I wasn't as mad as I was with ABC, but still it's wasted airtime. They could show some of the younger skaters or show special performances that didn't get shown the first time around.

Actually, I think it works out nicely. It serves as a good recap of the champion's moments. Better than last year where they just re-hashed the men's saga, that's for sure.
