Olympic Games

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.

Yeah, he's quoted as saying, "I'm not intimidated by anything, except maybe PETA standing outside with a bucket of blood."

And, for the record, the fur has been removed from his costume.
