Thursday February 25 Ladies Long 8-12 ET.

Thought all the women skated good in their SP - proud of all them and that what we watch for good skating.

Evgeni Plushenko's long, delusional journey continues. Just days after the silver medalist for men's figure skating denied that Evan Lysacek is the true champion of men's figure skating, he has apparently awarded himself a platinum medal.

Tuesday February 23 Ladies Short 8-12 ET.

Thought all the ice dance couples were good tonight.

If looks could kill says it all.

Monday February 22 Free Dance 8-12 ET

Sunday February 21: Original Dance 7-11 - this is ET

Evan Lysacek Wins Gold for USA in Men's Figure Skating at Vancouver Winter Olympics!

f Light was still on I would still have my characters - however I just wished GL had a EP and writer that would have taken care of it EW and DK helped kill GL then DK went to ATWT and killed that show and now AMC hired him to write and now I am worried what is going to happen to that show - he just might go to show to show till there will be no soaps left - why anyone hires DK I just don't understand.

IMO - skating is more then doing a quad and then think o.k. now give me the gold and Evan was the complete package with so many elements in his LP and deserved the Gold!

Plushenko said no one could win if they didn't do a quad - Evan was golden last night - tonight it is the ice dancing SP and I really look forward to Sun. when Davis/White do their LP to POTO.

Evan did it he won Gold - however think Johnny was robbed and should have won bronze.

I also hope Johnny will surprise everyone and it would be exciting if he can.

GO for the Gold tonight Evan!!!

Now we wait for men's LP Thur and Evan is so close - hope he wins.

Even was Heaven tonight glad he skated good, Johnny was also good - however felt bad for Jeremy in his SP - there is no way he can win now.

Good pair skating last night - now tonight it is on to men SP.

The skaters are so good and look amazing - wish I was as flexable and could do those moves.

I enjoyed the pairs SP tonight and I am looking forward to pairs LP Mon.
