Olympic hockey: Canada has just lost to USA 5:3

According to the commentators, this will be the day of the national tragedy, but I don't think anything is lost for Canadian team. You need a wake-up call to do well in the finals, right?

But (I saw this in the breaks) - Canadian pair is leading ice dancing at the moment! I am glad they do - I didn't like neither pseudo-Indian dance of the USA couple nor pseudo-Maori dance of the Russian couple, though the USA couple was a bit better. SURELY - a gold medal in ICE DANCING has to be worthy of losing to USA (and it is not even finals yet!)????????????????

Now it is almost 4.00 and I don't feel sleepy at all. I am so glad I watched Canada/USA. I am going to continue and watch Finland/Sweden . Wouldn't it be good if Finland won as well??? (Update : no luck, they lost 0:3. I am sad).

Your guide to Olympic Figure Skating costume faux-pas in pictures. Part 1

We all know that whatever the judges say, figure skating is all about costumes. These Olympics have been very fruitful in bad figure skating fashions, the Original folk dance in particular (there were so many terrible costumes there I felt my eyes were constantly bleeding!) . We all know who the worst were; but there were some other almost equally atrocious offenses against fashion and common sense, committed right under the nose of the Olympic committee.

1. Oksana Dominina Maxim Shabalin (Russian Federation): The worst of the worst , wrong on so many levels that I can't even count them all. By the words of dianora77: " I've decided to interpret their dance as something from the dawn of mankind, not as an insult to modern day tribesmen and their customs. That way I don't feel as mortified. "



This is all for now, I intend to continue this list as the Olympics progress. If you know of any costumes you feel should be included in the list – I would appreciate any suggestions!!!!
