Olympics Thread

In some small way, I'm glad that Sasha Cohen didn't win. Would've really, really upset Michelle Kwan. But silver ain't no chump change either.

Yes, congrats to Shizuka-san... :applaud: :applaud: :thumbsup:

Japan must be elated at her surprising win. :thumbsup:

It's seppuku for the others. ;)

I saw her performance 1 or 2 hours ago. I remember the commentator saying she won some kind of title. I think it was in 2004.

I saw Mikitty too. They were saying she didn't manage to do her quad something, since a few months. Too bad, I think she was the only girl who could do it. =T

OMG!, I'm so happy for Shizuka Arakawa she won GOLD medal!!!

~~~~~ ;) :dancing: :woot: :yippee: :good: :thumbsup: :victory: ~~~~~

Congrats!!!! :mrgreen:

Those medals totally look like CDs. :headscratch:

I had the same reaction. :beaten:

Suguri Fumie didn't looked that good on ice, but I still have a feeling that judges cut her very sharp.
