Ms Hughes clearly won the long program last night, no one else even came close... the long program counts for 2/3 of your overall score. She was in 4th after short, and 1st in long.. I am still not sure how the judging worked that she won first, though she undoubtably did the best long program.. no one was even close.

Either way, good for Ms. Hughes, congratulations.

For Hughes to win Gold, Kwan had to win no higher than 3rd. It has something to do with the ordinals.

I don't normally care to watch the figure skating event, but did last night and am glad I did. The performance by Sarah was jaw dropping. The kid was doing things that even an uneducated in the arts guy like me couldn't help but notice. She was enjoying the whole experience and you could tell it. It wasn't mechanical or uninspired like the bunches I had watched prior to or after that.

Sasha, well...she's beautiful, but she needs to loosen up in my opinion.

Sarah skated with her heart. She seemed to be pouring it out from down deep.
