scene from the men's short program

Evan Lysacek takes the ice, arms raised.

Rogue: "People of Vancouver! KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!"

Loved the men's short tonight, y'all. Too bad I had class and couldn't watch/chat live. Some serious highs and serious lows. Still hate Plushenko.

olympics update for the day

Tonight's Olympics observation: I *love* the US snowboarding outfits. I adore the plaid jackets and the fake jeans are actually really snazzy.

I caught the very end of the women's cross-country sprint this afternoon and it left me absolutely bawling. That poor Slovenian girl, who'd had such a terrible fall in practice and still somehow managed to get the bronze, she just collapsed as soon as she crossed the finish line and basically had to be carried off by her coaches. There's something sort of pure and beautiful about that, of giving absolutely everything you have to your sport and having nothing left. I don't know. Maybe I'm weird. But I did cry a lot.

Also, how cute was Lindsey Vonn spotting her husband/coach while she was being interviewed and totally abandoning her interviewer to run to him? Awwww.
