Live Blog Updates of the Ladies Free Skate Tonight

...in an As it Happens thread.  Please join me and share your thoughts.  The telecast starts at 8pm eastern on NBC.  I don't know what I'm going to do after the Olympics are over!  I'll go through withdrawal.  Thankfully, the world championships are coming right up next month and I hope you'll keep reading Required Elements for full world championships coverage, as well as continued coverage of skating and skaters in general.
