in the mood for loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee
took one hour off last night my portfolio prep to watch the finals of the pairs figure skating at the winter olympics, and i was totally blown away. figure skating as a sport has always been plagued with drama (remember the salt lake city hooohaaa 4 years ago? where the far superior canadians was awarded silver initially, but was eventually awarded joint gold with the russians?)

last night also drama drama. the russians of course, was fantastic. i literally gave them a standing ovation in my room. but wat more exciting was watching the chinese couple compete. they were the last team to perform, and suay enough, had to perform immediately after the russians. and they gungholy opened their routine with a quadruple throw salchow (a move never attempted successfully in any major competitions, a move their china mates attempted unsuccessfully 4 years ago), and true enough, they fell. very unglam. legs open wide, and her knee hit the ice hard. ouch. she cringed in pain, the music stopped, and she went to the side to weep for like 30 secs before deciding to continue their routine. and because the ruling said they had to pick up from where they stopped, they had to skate round in circles for the music to run, before continuing their routine. and the amazing part is, they managed to complete the rest of their routine seemlessly, and were eventually awarded silver.

amazing la these chinese. such fighters. it makes me wonder, if i am in her shoes, whether i will continue with my routine after such a terrible fall? and will i still deliver the rest of my moves without a glitch?

but of course,the russians are still far more superior la. 12 straight golds since like wat, 1964?
