Pairs skating is so dangerous. I've seen some really bad falls and they make me cringe every time I witness a lift or a throw.
I'm really sorry the Chinese couple didn't complete a quad in performance. I'd love to have seen that. But, her fall looked nasty! I can't believe they were able to complete their program and do it so beautifully.
I loved the piece they did about the Chinese coach. Going to your first Olympics without a coach never having been outside your country before, learning how to skate from pictures, being laughed at, coming in dead last........I think the definition of determiniation added a new example.
It was fun watching the half-pipe, but I know NOTHING about the sport. I felt like I was watching foreign television.
And the look on Cheek's face when he saw his first time was priceless!
