ladies' skating results

Using a completely neutral icon and a cut for Olympic spoilers:

Okay, haven't seen any of the performances, but yay. Overall, I'm satisfied. Sasha didn't win. Neither did Irina, but now she has a silver and a bronze, just like Michelle. (Next Olympics, Sasha can try for her bronze. Ha.) All reports say Arakawa skated beautifully, and I'm really looking forward to seeing her program. Woot.

ETA: Ha! This picture really says it all-- Shizuka's all "YAAAAAAY!" and Irina and Sasha are like "Can we go now please?"

I really was rooting for Sasha, but considering the programs I'm really glad that Arakawa did win. Out of the last group of six, her skate was by far the strongest both technically and artistically. If Sasha had landed everything, she'd have had it easily, but she didn't - in which case, someone who did totally deserves to win. So... There we are.

At any rate, Arakawa was just so cute about the whole thing she made me happy!
