Olympics 2

Olympics finished and now we know all results in figure skating competitions.
A little bit pity - all good goes fast.

Ice dance
not much surprises with 1-2 place. Two favorites - Davis-White from USA and Virture-Moir from Canada.
thats couples just amazing, really hard choose first. Canadian lyrical and making magic on ice. USA very fast, technically perfect, strong and confident. Confidence just in blood in all American sportsmen from birth :)
So VIrture-Moirs fans still had hope that they can again win gold, but everybody else understand that its almost impossible - judges already made their choice, and only really big mistakes can changes it, what again almost impossible when you look at USA couple.
another interesting detail - this pairs have the same coach Zueva (and its even looks like she made her choice too, prefer Americans).
so result
1 place - Davis-White
2 place - Virture-Moire
and 3 place - surprise - Russian Ilyinyh-Katsalapov. Their short program was sparkle and bubble and free program just beautiful Swan Lake. They go in front French Peshala-Bourza (who did maximum in their short dance - Chicago and Russian Bobrova-Solovyov (who expect be at 3 place but not get it).
road to young!

Ladies
that's was tense, intense, perfectly amazing program performances from women. A lot girls did their best in short and free program. They show to men how need skating at Olympics :)

after short program results: Y.Kim from Korea, A.Sotnikova from Russia and C.Costner from Italy - they all get 74.XX points - all during one point. Not far from them Y.Lipnitskaya (all world watch her and put a lot hope), Americans G.Gold and A.Wagner and everybody had chance for medal.
C.Costner did program of her life - their was crying and amazing skating. All fans was happy for her. But another favourites - Mao Asada cant did her triple axel and stop at 16 place - that was really disappointing but next day she did it - jump triple axel and did just great performance of life, tears at the end (3 place in free program, but not enough for medal, just 6 place for vice-champion previous Olympics).
Results after free skating -
1 place - unexpected young Russian girl A.Sotnikova with good technique, spins, jumps
2 place - Y.Kim from Korea - who miss just a little bit.
3 place - happy Italian C.Kostner with beautiful program (long way to first Olympic medal and last Olympic games for her).
at 4 place Gracy Gold from America.
Is it fair result. Hard to say. Im sure this 3 girls might be on first three positions but just not so sure about order. Costner can be on 2 place, Kim on 3, or opposite - Kim on first, Sotnikova on second.
But games in Russia, that's why so big points. But I guess its not change final result. So might be fair...
And interesting - its first gold Olympic medals for Ladies for Russia. and I think first Olympic medal for Italy too :) well done girls!
On award ceremony they show really warm and nice relationships. That's nice :)
Good when people can stay nice after hard competitions and be friends.

So exciting Olympics finished and we will wait next in 2018 in Korea.
but at least at this season still one more big competition - World Champiomship. Interesting, if all leaders planning come or not, and maybe we will see new surprises. Some skaters ready take what they miss in Sochi - medals!!!
