Olympic Games

[mysid]

Did any other QaF fans notice that there is Czech snowboarder named Michal Novotny?

I only watched parts of the mens' figure skating last night, but I have to say I really liked Daisuke Takahashi's performance--and Evan Lysacek wasn't half bad either.

I read in the paper today that Johnny Weir decided at the last minute to stay in the secure athlete's village (after threats from PETA over some fox fur on a costume). Because it was the last minute, he was given a female roommate, U.S. ice dancer Tanith Belbin. "That pairing of divas delighted Weir and caused him to decorate their two-bedroom suite with pink shower curtains, Audrey Hepburn posters, and scented candles." Emmett would be proud.

Haha, is that what happened? I heard stuff about him rooming with Tanith but didn't hear why.

Should be an interesting long program! I think anyone will need their A+ game to beat Plushenko, but the fact that he only has the slimmest of margins after the short is a good sign.

I was so in love with Daisuke Takahashi's short program. I even loved his long program, though it was silly of him to even attempt that jump. He might not be the 'best' in the field, but I think he was the most fun to watch. But maybe the fact that I really want to see him naked is influencing my opinion here :D

As for Johnny Weir. I short of want to adopt him. Or go dancing with him. Something.
