Evan did a great job, and I'm glad the Russian streak is over. I'm still smarting over Paul Wylie not winning in Albertville in 92, but that's another story!

I said that earlier too - how do you FALL & still medal? I guess they figure a failed quad should score more than multiple successful triples? Whatever. I did think he was underscored a bit, but it seemed that he was thrilled - I think I heard it was a personal best score for him.


And I just looked it up - the exhibition skate is next Sat 2/27, not Fri.
