I did wonder because there were lots of falls in the couples skating too, including the dramatic fall by Mlle Zhang although this did not stop her and her partner winning the silver medal.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-1140726252713785872006-02-23T21:24:00.000+01:002006-02-23T21:24:00.000+01:00I'm pretty sure it was ice dancinghttp://time.blog...I'm pretty sure it was ice dancing<BR/><BR/>http://time.blogs.com/sports/2006/02/ice_dancingthri.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/torino/figureskating/2006-02-19-ice-dancing_x.htmAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-1140699407937843322006-02-23T13:56:00.000+01:002006-02-23T13:56:00.000+01:00John,I think you watched the couples' competition,...John,<BR/>I think you watched the couples' competition, not the ice dancing. At least in couples skating there are throws and athletic stuff. In ice dancing the girl is not allowed to jump more than knee height, so it really is just like 'Come Dancing On Ice'. Hardly a sport, or ballroom dancing should be integrated into the summer Olympics...Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-1140486876529507682006-02-21T02:54:00.000+01:002006-02-21T02:54:00.000+01:00Well, after reading your comments I decided to wat...Well, after reading your comments I decided to watch the first Olympic event I have watched this year and it was ice dancing.<BR/><BR/>Several couples fell and one pair then glared at each other for some time before taking their bows. <BR/><BR/>God only knows who selected the colors and some of those outfits.<BR/><BR/>Sport?
