That's OK, I'll probably still watch.

Romy, I'll tell you, for my money my favorite skaters ever were Goordeeva and Grinkov. Nobody better than them in my opinion. It was so sad when he died.

Well, they were poetry on ice. It struck me deeply too when I heard the news of his death. I have a similar feeling for Klimova Ponomarenko, even after many years when I see their programs my heart jumps.

Say, a couple of other related olympic notes for you. I was doing some looking ahead and found out the 2010 winter games are in Vancouver. Ive never been there, but that will be one of the best venues ever!!! A very cosmopolitan city right on the ocean. Cant wait for that. Then I was looking at the finalists for 2014, and one of the places was (And I know I'm going to misspell this) Kazhakstan. I was like, what's there that would make an olympic commitee consider it?

Who knows, maybe Kazakhstan is full of hidden beauties (they have some great filmakers though), but some how I doubt it will be chosen.

About Baiul, I think her life is back on track after the disintossication program, she stills skates in professional shows.
