Re: the OLYMPICS.....primetime 2/13/14......NO SPOILERS PLEASE :)

I was sorry that Plushenko had to withdraw from competition and retire the way he did. He said he's had 12 surgeries already but after seeing the pain he is in after his fall I'm wondering if #13 may be in his near future. He's a fantastic skater and I always loved to watch him skate. He is one fantastic skater.

And then Jeremy Abbott fell hard on his right hip on his first jump. I couldn't believe he got up and finished his skate after that fall. He must have been in terrific pain. It just shows you what a brutal sport skating can be. I hope he's okay and can continue to skate.

Skating is my favorite sport of the Winter Olympics.

USA swept it!! Goosebumps

it was great to see the usa mens slopestyle take 1-2-3!

the skating is always beautiful to watch, but lots of falls and/or mistakes tonight.....only one man had a near flawless performance.
