So, with the Olympics coming up very soon, I was wondering... is anyong going to watch it? If so, which event(s)?

I myself always watch the Olympics. I'll probably catch most it, what I can. I'm a big fan of Figure Skating, so that's usually what I catch. :)

We are watching, because Mister is way obsessed with winter sports. Why? Do not know. I know nothing about it except that there was this Russian couple who did a completely offensive racist figure skating routine recently including wearing brown figure skating suits, 'cause, like, I guess that doesn't count as blackface? fail.

The Russian's costumes were offensive in the Original Dance because they did not accurately reflect the culture they were supposed to be representing. In the Free Dance, they were using their straps to help them in their spins, which a lot of people feel was cheating.

I saw that; I thought it was cheating, too. But I guess there wasn't anything in the current rules about doing such a thing, so it was allowed?

I'm sure there will be rules about that in the next Winter Olympics.

Yeah, there was no rule that said that you couldn't do that, so it wasn't against the rules. I do agree, though that it'll be quickly made a rule.

I also wonder what the ISU is going to do about all the controversy about the Quad. I mean, prior to know, there's been talk, but now there's a lot of the so-called "experts" agreeing with Plushenko (Silver)and his coach, Mishin, that more weight should be given to the quad because a lot of the skaters are refusing to do it, and it's making the sport regress. Yes, Lyacek (Gold)should have won, but it's definetely something to think about. However, Lysacek's not going to Worlds, and Plushenko is, so he'll get his 4th world title.

Kim Yu-Na, though, wow was she fabulous, and she IS going to be at Worlds, so that'll be an interesting event. I wonder if Virtue & Moir (Gold in Dance) are going to go, too. They were wonderful so were Davis & White (Silver).
