As usual fell asleep b/4 the main skaters started, wil have to watch it On Demand tonight. I like figure skating, and am in the camp that would like to see more Artistry in the sport rather than random skating around between Big Jumps. It is called Figure Skating after all, not Ice Gymnastics.
The big problem still w/ this and many of the other Olympic Sports (Gymnastics, Freestyle Skiing, etc.) is there is still too much subjectivity, especially among the commentators like whomever Bambino quoted above. Everyone can see something different based on their expectations coming in.
