'Maarku' has less syllables than 'U-15'....not very efficient of them, unless he's also built like a U-boat...or something else that corresponds to 'U' in Finnish...
A six-syllabled last name is nuthin'!

You didn't see it? They couldn't seem to stay on their feet. Quite graceful...

I was talkin'bout the "smackdowns" and the "body checks" ...
Can't have those cause it would mess the "pretty" costumes and the hairdos !!
The tumbles I call "doing a Zamboni" !!

One or two of them kind of resembled a check! Oh, and the angry glares... But they kissed and made up last night.

That's what they do best in Ice Dancing !!
Apart from taking the sport out of the Olympic competitions, that is ...
Couple dance synchronized swimming ...
Hmmmm ! That's the ticket !!

What about this Austrian scandal, the raids, the banned coach, the crashing into a roadblock.
Like ruddy sports soap it is.

Tonight is the ladies short program in figure skating. Thursday night the finale. Just watched Kimmie Meissner skate. The girl can jump I'll grant her that. A drag queen has more grace though... Hmmm. Wonder if RuPaul can drop everything and rush to Torino to give Miss. Meissner some pointers in grace? Just a thought. |

Emily performed much more gracefully imo than Kimmie. Had loads of grace. Not as hot on the jumps but definately much more grace in her program.

Emily had her some big legs, though....not to dwell on the superficial.
Still, I like seeing those skaters having the long legs of a dancer (though they DO do those unreal jumps, needing serious muscle)....there was a gorgeous tall-er Swiss girl who skated last night...
I hope it's not this Kim Meissner you're talking about...
And I honestly cannot fathom this complete lack of interest the people here have for this Olympics in particular and the winter version in general...
It's not like there's any sort of a huge 'star power' of these players to Americans, anyway('Herminator Who??')...but anywhere in Europe where they get snow and then participate in some of these sports, this is pretty big.
NEarly every event they show entrances me...
'En-trance' - used there with the accent on the second syllable, BTW...

Oh, how could I have completely missed that?
Er, the beauty of sport then?
