Could you believe it? It's really rare to see people falling in dance, but yesterday was surreal, I'm starting to think they indulged too much with Barbera (typical, heavy bodied red wine from that part of Italy). The Canadians, Denkova Stavinski, both the Italian couples (and Fusar Poli - Margaglio who were in the first position, with that mistake lost almost all the chances for a medal) went down. The only good surprise was the American couple who is now second. Navka Kostomarov were perfect as ever but I found them boring, even if tonight I'm curious to see their Carmen Suite.

The Americans were great last night. And I agree with you about the Russians. They were technically perfect but not very compelling to watch.

Yes! It was terrible - everyone falling for apparently no reason.

Did you guys see the look Fusar-Poli gave her partner after he dropped her & blew their first place spot?

Talk about if looks could kill, I thought she was gonna smack him! She didn't move for, like, 30 seconds & just stared at him. I was scared.

I missed my Bulgarian team (stupid NBC), I see they're in 5th or 6th - did they fall too? The Americans were really superb, the Russians were good but they were evaluating them on Canadian TV & they pointed out how far apart they were & that many of their steps were NOT in unison. So screw them.

I hope it's Bulgaria, U.S. and, what the hell, I'll throw in Canada for the top 3. Of course, unless the Russians totally blow it, they're sure to medal.

I thought Fusar-Poli was going to belt him.

I really like the Lithuanian couple, even though they probably won't medal. If the US can medal in ice dance, that will be such a welcomed change.

I missed the Lithuanians too. Grrrr...all I caught was the final group. Tonight's the free skate, right? I will just have to sit through hours of other trash so I don't miss anything this time.

I know! the scheduling sucks. I don't understand it. I haven't watched nearly as much as I wanted to cause I'm not gonna watch 2 hrs of curling for 30 mins of figure skating

We have been seeing again that killing look by Fusar Poli in any news coverage

. She was really angry and was right because Margaglio did the mess, was too slow for all the program and lost the balance.
Yes, Denkova Stavinski fell, and it was really strange because it wasn't a particular difficult passage, but as the Italians they were at the end of the program so probably it could have been an excess of confidence. I'm looking forward to their program on Albinoni's Adagio, the music is so beautiful. I definitely like them more than the Russians, and it's strange because I'm a huge fan of Russian School.

I'm not making the same mistake I did a couple of days ago

telling the results, but I'm just watching the free programs and the Lithuanians were wonderful... the Italians were great too (even if by their expressions they seemed just come back from a funeral) and even hugged at the end.

Yep, tonight's the free skate. I'm trying to avoid any results so I can be "surprised." I can't wait until the womens' competition starts tomorrow.

Finally.

I don't like pairs that much. But I thought the news last night was showing random falling clips from all time (the sound was off) but you guys say everyone was actually falling yesterday?! Bwahahahahaha!!! They showed quite a few brutal ones on the news. I can't believe that many falls in the olympics!

She kept mouthing the word "puta" (not sure if I can write that?) while she was going to the seat to wait for the results. I had to google it to see if it had the same meaning in Italian as it does in Spanish. It does and she was pissed

I thought that was a bad word. Which one is it?

Well... just think to women who sell themselves for money. Actually I didn't even notice she was saying that, I guess I was too busy repeating " no, no, no"... and other words.
