It starts the competition with everyone on a level playing field which then separates the men from the boys. Original dance is a themed dance that each team picks their own music and steps--this year it was a folk dance. The ISU picks the theme for the year. Free dance is where dance teams go apeshit with music and costume and choreography. <br /><br />As a figure skater who does ice dancing, I was somewhat suprised they showed compulsory dance on TV. They never do for Nationals or Worlds. It is pretty boring.RainboSportshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003354479223178407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3597754234496889986.post-25666323512241053072010-02-22T14:10:24.187-06:002010-02-22T14:10:24.187-06:00ha!

I had a similar rant about the commentators over the weekend but it fell on deaf ears :( <br /><br />We were watching some long distance "classic" ski race that was about 18 miles (or km?), you know, a nice round number. About a mile into the race, one of the commentators noted that the front-runner, who had *maybe* a 5 yard lead on the pack, had the medal "in his back pocket". Um, kind of early in the race for those types of predictions, dontcha think?<br /><br />Sure enough, less than a mile later, there were at least a dozen other guys ahead of him...*sigh*natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00335044583772716269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3597754234496889986.post-60800741575162911552010-02-22T00:44:57.269-06:002010-02-22T00:44:57.269-06:00Good thing I watched Kat Vonn D eps tonite after w...Good thing I watched Kat Vonn D eps tonite after work instead of the Ice Dancing.

On the hockey front, I think Mike Milbury and Jeremy Roenick might actually come to blows before these Olympics are over. Have you *seen* how nasty they are getting with each other?Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17228735227119427610noreply@blogger.com
