So, call me limp-wristed; I'm from Philly, I don't care. But ever since Torvill and Dean, ice dancing has been my favorite winter olympic sport.
This time the Canadians were my favorites, even though they weren't winners. Probably their music caught me, for special reasons, but I still think they illustrated some of the best:

If you can't shoot it with a stick or bang it up into the boards, is it really worth watching? Go Team America Hockey :rock :rock

Never cared much for sports judged on a biased and subjective basis.
And as far as it goes, there hasn't been a dream team since team USA hockey in 1980. I lost a huge amount of interest in the olympics when it moved to professional athletes and massively political management.

When they add competitive snow angel making to the Winter Games, then real medals will be won!!! :x

Not a fan.
Snowman tackling. We did that as kids.

I watched a few of the routines and agree with you oldman.
My Eldest daughter has got into ice skating over the course of the last year and I've had a go myself re-learning at 41 years old. I've managed to get back to a point where I can confidently stay in the upright position. Next goal is to master skating backwards. :bolt:

Have you seen the video of the camera man who skates backwards to film their routines...
The one year in the 8th grade in Maryland was the only time I have seen a frozen body of water...it was my fishing pond down the road..

Six and a half minutes. It took them three days to film this scene.

In case anyone ever searches back for this thread, I add the most well-deserved gold medal performance:

I cant stand ice skating, I feel like it takes up too much olympic TV time being the entire 2 weeks. The women are graceful though. I did actually enjoy Alys's performance. Energetic and engaging. Im glad she won for America and didn't say anything stupid. Very talented.

I grew up in the era of Peggy Fleming and Dorothy Hamill. It doesn't get better than that.

That's a baseless assumption. I'm not necessarily as easy to impress.
I didn't say there weren't any who were good.....
