I'm surprised I was making big big noise around takahashi-kun and there's still people who don't know his name. :grumble:

I see u're not very into ice skating. Japan's ice skating team has always been on the top these past years in the ladies category. Shizuka Arakawa, Miki ANDO (the one u're talking about) Mao asada, Yukari Nakano .... Until last year the heavenly creature Yu-na KIM I like came :mrgreen: Moreover she's cute, not like mao asada xD. She is the first KOREAN person to reach international competition level. If u can I suggest u watch Yu-na's Short Program performance, it's the
first lady's performance ever to earn more than 70 pts on short program . It's very artistical, nervous, yet so charming AND non-classical like most of japanese programs were. Unfortunately Yu-na due to her back wasn't at top of her possibilities on Free skating on the next day, that's why mao asada and miki ando, who are almost as good as Yu-na (well I try to be objective :beaten: ), won the 1rst and 2nd place. (with a slight difference of like 0.5 point between Ando and Asada. And there's a national argue in Japan because of that, some think Asada should be first, some say it had to be Ando. :rofl: ). An all asian podium this year, this is somewhat unique, despite of the very good carolina Kostner and the big fighter american Kimmie Meisssner. :woot: :applaud:
Nevermind, as a chinese u should be proud of the gold medal and silver china brought back in couples. Especially, Xue Shen and Hongbo Zhao are a HUGE couple in ice skating. HUGE CAREER and apparently this was their last competition. I suggest u watch their performance. It's HISTORICAL. I tell ya, HISTORICAL.
In France too there's historical thing, Brian joubert won IN Japan. Exotic country for us french. Beating THE japanese man, Takahashi. AND japanese people are said to always respect someone who won on their ground. Tons of japanese girls fell in love with him and his legs' style now. (lol whereas On tv I heard the former frech ice skater Philippe Candeloro saying Miki Ando had a very beautiful smile LOL)
Well I stop talking for now. Just to say to u, Ice Skating is a HUGE and interesting world.
@boris: dunno if u liek ice skating, but please thank Albena Denkova and Maxim Stavinski. They're retiring and were no.1 perfect dancing couple, so much in harmony than we can't say who is the male who the female. :applaud:
OKAY, now's time for the SWIMMING world championship in Melbourne !!!! MANAUDOU GO GO GO !!! (french super lady, xD taller than me xD and wwinning everywhere :rofl: )
