Just saw that he is dating Nastia on Extra.

Everytime Nastia is mentioned I HAVE to "toot my own horn" and say that I live across the street from her gym, WOGA.
I wish that Belbin and Agosto were third after this portion...they needed it! I think they might need the Russians to slip during their Free Dance tonight!
Personally, I want Meryl and Charlie to win...and I think their Free Dance is better.
However, their coach is in "hog heaven" right now! They coach both teams!
As for the ladies, I kinda feel bad for Rachel Flatt that Mirai Nagusu is getting more attention and seems to be the "favorite" among the commentators!
I'm kind of watching the U.S. Women's hockey game agains Sweden. So far, they are winning. They're on break and going into the 3rd period shortly.
I am actually watching the women's team sprint finals. (Cross country) I have been watching most of the cross country races.
What channel are you watching? The hockey game is on USA, if anyone cares.
I am watching our local NBC station.
What is the Italian skier wearing on her head? It looks like a turban almost. I keep thinking Norma Desmond! It is a black sparkly thing!
I didn't even realize they were women. That's how much attention I was paying, Unc.
LOL Well Stockard, it is possible that you were looking at the men's final. That is starting here now.
Well Meryl and Charlie are skating 1st in the final group...not a good position for them, IMO. The Canadians are third and that's a better position for them.
In the race for the bronze, Tanith and Ben skate 4th and the Russians skate last...so at least while they are in the "kiss and cry" Tanith and Ben will be in medal contention :)
Incase anyone cares, the U.S. Women's hockey team beat Sweden, 9-1, and will be going on to play the final game against either Canada or Finland.
I turned it on after I saw your post Marianne but the game had just ended.
I don't follow hockey as much...but OF COURSE I CARE! I watched that Documentary called "Blood, Sweat and Cookies" several times leading up to the Olympics!
I hope both teams end up in the Gold medal Final...with victories for the U.S. of course!
So good to see that the snowboarder Kevin Pearce is recovering. The hospital he is doing rehab in is not far from where I live.
So, the Brits screw up big time, and still get the highest scores of the night, so far. Just goes to show how corrupt figure skating judging remains. Hopefully, they'll get it right at the end of the night.
They got the highest scores in the FD dance to that point?...or are you saying they are just in 1st place? Because their others scores count too.
But...it's still Ice Dance...new Scoring System or not!
When their scores were announced, they had received the highest score of the night in the free dance.
Meryl and Charlie rocked it with the Phantom themed dance. It wipes Patrick Chan's Phatom medley program out of my memory.
Meryl & Charlie had a one-point deduction for 'lift exceeding duration'. Hope it doesn't come down to that.
That was simply lyrical.
Tessa Virtue is a vision of loveliness.
That might have been the most beautiful dance I've ever seen on the ice. Great choice of music, too (Mahler's Death In Venice).
I feel that way, too, Jane.
