And what in the world were those judges thinking when the gal from Japan finished as high as she did? She fell, she ran into the wall for crying out loud ... I thought Kimmie's performance was much better. And again ... no American bias here at all.
By the way, how perky and cute is Emily Hughes? Did her parents clone her from Sarah?
Anyway, I know that some of the men here at HSBBW don't think that figure skating is a sport or even athletic ... it requires a judge for crying out loud ... but who could deny that these young ladies are awesome athletes?
Also, as far as the 'judging' element is concerned, if the guys think there is no room for 'artistic' interpretations, that could easily be taken out of the judging and the required elements ... similar to theold 'compulsories' that were done before the short program ... evaluated based on a standard ... could even use a computer to view the movements, the height, etc. ... to make it more objective. I guess those men don't think diving should be in the summer Olympics either ...

The USA finished with 3 of the top 7 last night ... GO U S A !!!!
Oh yes, in closing ... the Russian gal is 27 years old ... shouldn't she be far superior to the very young Americans?
