Sasha just got Pearl Harbored by Arakawa. The US implosion in every event we were supposed to do well in is now complete. Woohoo.

Yes, predictable. Sasha's never skated 2 good programs together.

 

And now she's likely out of a medal. Oh well.

 

Davai Irina.

Kimmie probably has no chance, either. Even with a perfect skate, she'd be lucky to pass Rochette.

Shani Davis performed how he was expected to. And of course the snowboarders, but that's a joke sport so a lot of people don't really count it.

The real downer are the US women. All of them sucked, except for a couple meaningless snowboarders.

She needs to bust out the tripple axel. (I'm not even really sure what that means, but bust it out anyways)

Sasha should end up with the bronze since the other Japanese chick didn't pass her.

 

The US Women (I'm looking at you Jacobellis) and the "best ever" Alpine Team killed us. If you take out the X Games bullshit, we wouldn't have won much of anything.

I have a feeling Slutskaya will "Bode" this program, and end up with the silver, but I don't know why.

Like I said earlier, it's always seemed to me that those EXTREEEEEEEME sports were added to the olympic rotation to help bolster US medal count, but we couldn't even get that right ("I lost control while showboating.")

And Bode Miller. He's the biggest Olympic bust since Jeremy Wotherspoon.

 

I've posted before, but Bode wasn't a bust. He wasn't a realistic gold medal outside of combined, and maybe a very lucky run in downhill. The predictions he'd win at least 3 golds were stupidity.

I'd just like Bode to go away. He's a misfit. And he even slithered his way into believing he could be a tennis player while barely ever playing it before. He's just an ass.

It sounds like the Japanese chick is going to win the gold unless the Russian mob got to the judges.

 

Bode Slutskaya did exactly what I expected.

I bet Michelle Kwan wishes she had stayed now that the top two chicks fell all over themselves in the free skate.

Well, if you like skaters falling on their asses then NBC's coverage of the figure skating finals is going to be awesome. Not much of a shock that Sasha imploded, she just doesn't have the focus for back to back good performances.

 

She's lucky everyone else looked dazed and confused as well.
