Lysack has Michelle Kwan's original coach....with whom she skated those brilliant programs.

Lysack fell all over the place in his first performance.

Evidently he was coming down with a dreadful flu.

Yesterday he had IV's all day and tonight he performed brilliantly.

When he was interviewed, he said tonight was about courage.

It was an awesome performance. Hope he wins some Worlds.....he deserves it!

There is some big competition coming up in March.....not exactly sure.

[StarFan]

Don't care for the new point system. Theme from the Godfather doesn't fit if he's not doing much choreography but is looking for points. Solid skater nevertheless.

[Jrabbit]

I really like him...

[rintense]

Weir is gay, skateman.

[StarFan]

Is that the Godfather theme? Yes, just the first few bars, go figure.

[OldFriend]

In my uninformed opinion, Lysack skated a far sight better than the eventual gold medal winner.

[small voice in the wilderness]

He is in total control on that ice. Beautiful performance and great music!

[skateman]

Yup, the music seems secondary to his skating.

What happened to the kid with the cowboy hat, did he get cut?

Garrett the Cowboy Munckin? :) He was cut on Tuesday's show. He made it farther than I thought.

[Purrcival]

That might be, but remember that the scores are combined with the scores from the short program. And if Lysacek fell a lot the other night, that will hurt him, unfortunately.

[warsaw44]

This Russian sure is giving the American a heck of a run for his money! He is incredible.

[OldFriend]

I think he has a master's in urban planning. Graduated Magna cum laude and will be going to law school......WOW!

[Purrcival]

I'll have to stay up to watch when I get home.

[StarFan]

Scott Hamilton said it wasn't nearly what he expected. Frankly I thought he was terrific.

[blu]

Someone tell me why there are male singles figure skaters? Everything they do is much prettier when the women do it, and the fashions...oh my! I can see men in pairs and dance, the women need someone to toss them around and showcase them.

I predict that all the male singles will be at the next Olympics, in the SnowCross!

[Jrabbit]

STFU commentators!

What a bunch of whiners!!

He was GREAT!

[silent_jonny]

LOL--cold but true :-D

[Txsleuth]

Yes...I liked it better when we watched for the 6's!!!


BTW...RE: the "spoiled" athletes and their attitudes...this guy had to turn in bottles they found to EAT!!!

[small voice in the wilderness]

I know, I felt completely inadequate when Hamilton commented! I thought it was wonderful.

[Jrabbit]

I'm getting really sick of those pampered poofs! He was wonderful!
