I’m falling farther and farther behind—let’s see what we can get through.
- Extreme facial closeups, the coaches are miked, there’s a hush in the arena—must be time for the top women in Figure Skating.
- (In my best Howard Cosell) Down goes Lipnitskaya! Down goes Lipnitskaya! We’ll see if she can come back in the Free Skate.
- Ashley Wagner—the only US skater who didn’t get an intro package—had some problems, but didn’t generate a meme-worthy face this time.
- In the late show, Nancy Kerrigan is wheeled in to give some post-game analysis.
- Parallel Giant Slalom? OK—now you’re just picking sport terms out of a hat.
Onto Thursday’s coverage…
- Hockey is well suited to DVR-viewing (at least for me). Fast-forward, watch the score at the upper left, then back it up when it changes to see the goal. I got through Canadian women's win over the US in about 10 minutes.
- Ski Snowcross—because Snowboard Cross is too safe. I say we up the stakes—have them juggle chainsaws while they do it—blindfolded!
More to come, including the finale of women’s Figure Skating. Get ready for kissing and crying.
