I just realised there aren't any general discussion threads about the Winter Olympics, so I thought I'd boot one up.
I'll start it off. Watching the figure skating, and props need to be given to the French guy, SIAO HIM FA A, for best music - in his short routine he used the Star Wars theme, and for the second dig he used a Daft Punk mix.. good stuff, better than these cheesy neo-classical hack tracks most of them use... He scored pretty high too, despite fluffing like 3 jumps and skipping a move... I guess he tried to do an extremely difficult routine and shock the world, but he didn't manage it... Landed his first jump though, that's always the hardest, it seems...
Hanyu Yuzuru skating early in the program after skipping a jump in his first outing, he wants to be the first to do a certain jump in competition, but he's got a huge gap to make up on the leaders. The patch of ice where he wants to make history seems to be slightly depressed, he has stacked there a few times in warm up... Probably not his year. The 18 year old freak whose name i currently forget, also Japanese, is probably going to be the one to take it to American WR getter Nathan Chen. The world #1 atm is an Italian blonde, but he wasn't much cop in the first routine.
Canadian guy with the world's most cocky lopsided grin is going to do it in a red flannel shirt.. swag
I'm getting more of this then other events because three of the top competitors are Japanese, happy to hear about other events...
