And I can finally blog about something I've been obsessed with for a period of time- figure skating! I have wasted countless hours of my live on youtube just watching skating, so. yeah. And I have persuaded mom to let me learn skating after the 'As, so thats something I'm eagerly anticipating.
And back to videos and skating. I spend a disproportionate amount of time watching 1 skater in particular. His name? Evgeni Plushenko. I first saw his picture in the papers for the 2006 Torino Olympics, and I thought 'hey, that guy is pretty cute. And his hair is nice.' So I googled him. Then I youtubed him. And I was STRUCK. His skating is fantastic! And he flirts with the audience!
I've watched the other competitors, and they've failed to leave as deep an impression on me. After Plushenko, the others all seem slow, clumsy, or technically deficient. There is one other skater who can compare though--Alexei Yagudin. His 2002 Olympic programmes were just gorgeous.
The point of all this? To declare that I love Plushenko! Nah. Thats probably post-prelim delirium.
