Is anyone into figure skating? If so, who are your favourites, what are your thoughts and expectations for this year's championships?

 

 

 

I have small hope of that, cause there would have been a thread about it by now...but, maybe, who knows. :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did you watch the Euro championships, or, if you're from America, the Nationals were held around this period as well?

 

 

 

If so, who did you cheer for and what do you think of the winners so far?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I cheered for the pair from France who took gold at ice dancing - Isabelle Delobel and Olivier Schonfelder.They're awesome, and I've been watching them and waiting for them to win for three years, while they always managed to miss the podium and come 4th. But now, finally, it's gold for them, so huzzah \ . The pair from Russia who came a close second was also great, though.

 

 

 

As for men's competition, it was a lacking a bit of excitement in the absence of Plushenko and Lambiel. I expected Brian Joubert to win (congrats France again :P) but I don't really like his skating style.

 

 

 

And at pairs, I had no favourites or expectations, since my favourite pair had withdrawn after winning the Olympics last year, but the German pair who took the gold were unexpectedly awesome. I'll be watching out for them from now on.

Nope...figure skating is still boring, even after 3 years.
