short program = fewer required elements 2m30s free skate = not really "free" in the sense that there are still required elements but more than short program ~4m dance vs skating = skating is more about throwing and jumps, dance is being stuck together and looking pretty or something, no major jumps or throws
And yeah, patrick chan could have had gold for canada but bombed hard.

Also pretty sure skaters have to go from corner to corner like floor routines in gymnastics.

why is curling so good. can't stop watching

Well that was a shitshow of a men's figure skating competition. Too bad Plushenko had to bow out.
|
Canada always the bridesmaid when it come to Men's Figure skating.
Brian Orser 2x Silver Medal Elvis Stojko Silver Medal Patrick Chan Silver Medal
Chan had a chance Yuzuru Hanyu left the door open, but couldn't seal the deal.
Chan super classy guy apologizing to Canada for not winning the Gold. link
At least Yuzuru Hanyu has a bit of a Canadian connection as he is trained by Orser in Toronto.

What a tough Super G for the women. Gold for beautiful Fenninger and another medal for the veteran Hosp.
|
yay finally gold for Anna Fenninger!!!
I hope the stupid media will finally leave her alone
|
Sucks for Kajsa Kling who had a medal (gold?) in reach but I like the course. A course for champions.
|
Allright, time for a new Norwegian gold !
|
Sweden 4-2 Finland. We have got the better ladies too.

I'm not sure if you've watched the match, but Finland really got shafted. I feel sorry for them.

Seems like the norwegian ski-preparation team really isn't good in this weather, bad skis have been a recurring theme so far in almost every competition.

Norway potentially choking in womens 4x5.

nice troll post LOL. BO1 proves very little. Belarus beat Sweden to knock them out of the 2002 Olympics. Does this mean the Belarus Men's Team is better than Sweden?
great game to watch though. of course we have taht guy on here trying to say women's hockey is boring. where did that "keyboard expert" disappear i wonder?
Sweden scored more goals that Canada did on Finland. So does this mean Sweden's offense is better than Canada's offense?
gratz to Sweden on a major upset of Finland. Thanks ladies for giving me a reason to get up at 3am to watch some hockey.

WE GOT THE MOTHERFUCKING GOLD KALLAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
|

Very cool that sweden won the 4x5km ladies, Kalla is so sympathetic and awesome.
But jesus christ fifth place for Norway.. that's the biggest negative upset through norwegian olympic history - this wasn't just a certain medal for us, it was a certain gold. People are gonna be pissed. :D
|
Wow, what a race by Charlotte Kalla. That was just incredible.
