Five twists packed inside of three somersaults

So the final round of the women's figure skating was last night. Heather and I watched (and cried) when Sasha Cohen fell twice in one routine to lose gold. It was quite sad. She did manage to skate awesomely after her two falls and held on to win the Silver medal. Will she be back and try one last time for Olympic gold in 2010? Do you care? Personally, I'm rooting for Emily Hughes now. She was an alternate that got put on the team when Michelle Kwan had to leave with injury. She's all smiles and it's hard to not pull for her to do well at the next Winter Olympics. I predict she'll win Silver at the 2010 games. Mark it down!

Also Heather and I have found watching the Olympics that we love the Aerials. It works like this : strap on some skis, climb up a giant hill that's packed with snow, go down it as fast as you can, fly off a ramp at the bottom, do as many twists, spins, etc before you smack the ground. It's AWESOME!







Enjoy your weekend.
