Olympics

[lizardbeth]

Thanks, NBC, for letting me watch Finland play Germany in hockey live (I believe I will root for the Finns because they have Teemu Selanne who plays for the Ducks and has a cool name) and Canada is fighting against Denmark in curling live, but I couldn't watch my own coutryman win a frakking gold medal LIVE last night because I live in the same timezone the Olympics are actually held in.

Yep, still pissed about that. I do not understand why they can't show us exactly what everyone else is seeing live, and THEN show us all the potted pre-recorded stuff from earlier in the day afterward. SO STUPID.

*eye roll* at Russian pouting. I can't remember who it was (Kulik, maybe?) a few games ago, they were defending on the basis that skating isn't only about jumping. OH THE IRONY. If Plushenko hadn't won at Turin already, with a better performance, I'd feel sorry for him. But now? CRY MOAR.

And Plushenko damn neared stepped out of one jump. Good lord... The Russian posturing all around (If we get anything less than eight medals we're inferior!) is getting quite tiresome. Dudes, you are not what you once were, but you can be something better.

I didn't realise PST didn't get the same live events. That sucks!

Lysacek was AMAZING. But then so was Johnny Weir and he didn't even get a medal (though I think he should have). Plushenko just came off looking like a major jerk.
