Is anyone else a big figure skating fan? I watched the US Championship last weekend and WOW! Jason Brown is fabulous to watch. What a great skater and so young. I'm so excited to watch the Olympics. Gracie Gold's program was just magical as well.
 
I love to watch figure skating. I was chatting with another coworker this morning...her son competitively skates and knows 2 who are attending the Olympics in Sochi. [they used to train at the same facility]

I enjoy watching figure skating if someone is watching it and I'm not doing anything else. I don't often watch- TV, so I wouldn't make an extra effort to watch it (not even for the Olympics).
 
I watched the free skate of the European championships yesterday and I just didn't think anyone skated up to the level of Gracie Gold on the women's side. On the men's side it was just one big jump fest. Who cares if no one likes watching you skate from one jump to the next, gotta try three quads! I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed with Olympic scoring.

I did feel that the US women exhibited a lot more stamina than their European counterparts. The Europeans all looked very tired by the end of their free skate.
 
I love to watch figure skating, so amazing and dangerous and beautiful! But I am not a fan enough that I "follow" the sport. But when it's on and I catch it, that's awesome!
 
i watch it all plus we get one Canadian channel so get most of there skating too including battle of the blades - their coverage is so much better than the American coverage for the grand prix skating

looking forward to the skating in olympics but will i watch american or canadian - probably bit of both
 
I've had a hard time finding coverage. The ICE network wants me to pay 50 dollars to watch their videos. Uh. no. My cable is terrible at finding it unless I look like 2 days before its on, which is never when the competition is actually on. So it's hard to find. At least with the Olympics I'll get some coverage, even if I do have to watch speed skating, biathalon, and curling :) No offense to any of those fans meant, of course.
 
I can't possibly wait until tonight for whatever skating scraps NBC will play. I'm streaming it live from NBC's website. I won't spoil it though!
