If yes I'd love to hear the reason. Costner and Yuna's program were way better but the Russian got the same points which is a joke. Technically the Russian was the best, yes. But program? hell no | ||

Between it's very questionable consideration as a "sport" and its undeniable corruption and subjectivity, I can't stop myself from laughing at all of this. But it seems to be very popular. I mean even the gamer kids get all emotional and shit when watching ladies dance on ice. | ||

This by NO MEANS neglects the fact that these skaters are amazingly good and talented. Of course they're talented, but I just can't take this seriously when the commentators try to pass of the "sport" aspect of it. It's ballroom on ice. It's an art. It's not a sport. And for God's sake it's so subjective that it's hard to handle. It also seems incredibly stale, monotonous, and over-regulated, much like gymnastics. Every Winter Olympics I get the impression that the rules/scoring/choreography requirements limits the ability for artistic expression/interpretation. | ||

They spend so many chances just tossing the puck at the net as if they just desperately hope the goalies fuck it up. Oh yeah and also the turnovers for like no reason whatsoever. | ||

I have extensive experience with both ballroom and swing dancing, to the point where I was a professional swing dancer for a time. No, it is not a sport, it's an art, and this argument of "art is not sport?" is old, tiresome, and really doesn't need to be re-hashed. Just Google the common points if you've never had it. | ||
