The Russian’s performance was uninspired,but netted a huge score,naturally. This is the first time since 1936 that no U.S. Men or women received medals in figure skating. We won no medals in speed skating either. Perhaps we should forget skating and concentrate on the snowboarding events.
Far cry from 1980. IMHO Eric Heiden was the greatest US Olympian of all. Nobody dominated a sport like he did.

I don’t know anything about speed skating, but I do know something about dance. While great athlets US skaters lack the grace of skaters from other nations in my opinion. Get them back in the ballet studios and you will see better results. Have them listen to Tchaikovsky and Vivaldi and toss out the Katy Perry and GaGa.
I think we should forget all the olympic events unless they are timed or some way you can score - such as hockey.
