I am very happy Evan Lysacek is on the team. He is my favorite.

Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?

huzzah for skating

last night was the first time in a long time that i have watched a skating competition, and until now, i mainly focused on the artistic abilities. but i forgot how phsyically strong figure skaters are as well. evan lysacek is definitely an example of that – he is pristine and focused in his movements, and i enjoyed watching him even though he didn’t exactly nail his performance. kudos especially to j abbott – what a win! reminds me of sarah hughes when she won the gold at the olympics – the way they annihilated their jumps seems like the type of execution every skater would dream of doing.

One can not overlook how incredibly gutsy Bradley’s long was. I thought it was phenomenal. If I were the coach, I’d rather have a skater who is a risk taker and executes under pressure than one who is too measured. Congrats to those named to the Olympic team, but Through My Eyes… I would have picked a different team.

Bradley

I agree – with the focus on moving forward with the team that was named and the three medalists, it is too easy to forget about that performance by Ryan Bradley. I think that was only the second time he landed two quads in the free skate, which is an amazing feat. He’s such a fun skater and I would love to at least see him in some skating shows in the future.
