Joannie & her dad are really going to need each other now & after the Olympics. Joannie had such good support from the crowd last night. I was disappointed in our coverage last night. They kept bouncing around to the other events & didn't do justice to the ladies short program. I hope Joannie metals & can hold it together in the long program.

I am so happy for Joannie Rochette. I wonder what is next for her, if she will continue to compete. I thought that Kim Yu Na was beautiful. Like Finn's Mom said, mesmerizing. They talked about how much pressure she was placed under in South Korea. She's only 19 years old! Give her a break, people!

I was glad that everyone did a good job and tried their hardest, and that no one fell in the top group of skaters. Each young woman seemed pleased with her results, and even if Mao Asada looked a little upset, she did smile when awarded the silver.
One can be taught jumps, and to some degree artistry and musicality, but there is no real training program for grace under pressure, which they all exhibited.
And I loved the color of Kim Yu-Na's costume best, it was very pretty!

An article in the Dance section of yesterday's New York Times (Sat. 2/27) on a topic discussed in this thread:
"In Figure Skating World, Winning Leaps Over Art" - http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/27/ar...ed=1&th&emc=th
I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
