Already started watching figure skating. Ugh. GO RUSSIA. The Russian pair skaters were AMAZING.

The night resume hasn't started here and I have only see a recap of Plushenko and the Japanese guy.

This Olympics broadcasting is going to be a mess here because the networks that usually got the rights lost them against Carlos Slim (that guy who depends on the day is the richest or one of the richest men in the world) and he gave them to public channels that are new at this and to espn that usually don't air them here and everyone is kinda lost about the where and when.

ETA: I think I found them!

That's crazy.

We watch it on Russian TV here (via Roku). So I just come in when my mom tells me skating is on.

And we started watching the Opening around 6 p.m. Eastern in Russian. I liked it. I was saying THERE NEEDS TO BE BALLET and boom.

I'm watching the ceremony right know! I can't watch live.The War and Peace ballet was great, and I want all the pets! Also I love Khachaturian I hope they would've used his music more.

Well, It's crazy but has it pros, the public channel that is broadcasting is a cultural channel and they are giving a great narration about what is happening in the ceremony and the channel has prepared a Russian week with movies and all things Russia. And the funny part that is their lack of experience with the sports although they have some specialist, hearing book smart people talking about sports is funny.

ESPN is broadcasting too but they got the rights last minute and it feels like they weren't prepare, I hope they get it together fast.

I love cars and I love rallys! *isjealous*

ESPN got it together! The Russian girl was amazing on the ice. Tho all the youngster makes the more mature figure skaters look slow.The Japanese guy was great too.

What are Sweden's medal hopes, Sara?

I love when rally here. When i was little they did race more in the city thought... now they gone more north. But it fun. Plus a radio station puts new text on known songs so it work with rally. So funny.

We got a medal today Skiing. And almost another one. But welll judges juding wrong or something. And Norway got also some. And well if sweden isn't getting some i always get bit happy for norway.

Not that into figure skatting. I love biatlon and hockey. Yes that is my main once.
