yes they are. i really love plushenko. he's so talented and cool. He's not arogant like some people say. he is just self-confident. i think russian pair Totmianina&Marinin also deserved gold. I hope Russians will win all 4 gold medals at figure skating.

I don't even think figure skating should be a sport.  No offense intended to anyone, especially because I still consider figure skaters athletes, but it isn't a sport!  It's more a competition, like ballroom dancing or something.  You don't see ballroom dancing in the Olympics.

Ummmm, they won both the silver and bronze medals in Pairs Figure Skating in Torino and numerous medals in short and long track speed skating.  Not to mention summer olympics where they are leaders in diving and gymnastics. For lists of athletes, see http://www.olympics.org

Yes lol they were. They never take defeat graciously ! Even their best divers could not get that extra needed goal before penalties -no wonder they were mad ! =D

I was around and remember it well and it was very exciting to watch.\n\nWhen Canada lost the first game in Montreal by something like 7-2 it was very depressing for all hockey fans because we all thought Canada would destroy the Russians.\n\nThe one thing most people don't talk about is that the series was held in the fall before the NHL season started and most of our players didn't train as hard in the off season as they do today.\n\nThey were not really in top form like the Russians were and there is no doubt that they took the Russians too lightly.\n\nPhil Esposito was the leader of that team and he played great as well as the others when they went to Russia.\n\nWhen Canada lost game 4 in Vancouver and the were booed by the fans Esposito lashed back at the fans saying how disappointed he was with their reaction, when he was interviewed right after the game.\n\nWhen game 8 was played many people including my brother and I took the afternoon off work to watch the game.\n\nWhen Paul Henderson scored with seconds remaining and Canada won everyone went nuts.\n\nThat first series was the by far the most exciting and while there have been some good games with the Russians since 72 nothing can really compare to the first time.

I think the new points system put Sasha Cohen as the silver medalist.  Any other Olympics she probably would have brought home Bronze with 2 falls, and Irina Slutskaya would have grabbed Silver.  I think Sasha is a great skater and I am proud of her. ... of them all!

Torvill and Dean, and Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto, are both ice dancers, not pairs skaters. \n\nBut I think that Torvill and Dean were the best ice dancers ever. \n\nAs for pairs skaters...I think that the best male pairs skater ever was Artur Dimitriev. He won the Olympic gold with two different partners, and he continues to have an influence on the sport even in retirment. \n\nAs for a complete pairs team - the best ever? In my opinion, it was Gordieva and Grinkov. They were excellent technical skaters, but they also brought real soul to their programs. They were the best combination of technical and artistry I've ever seen in pairs.

I like winter sports so i enjoy watching it very much. Turino is well prepared for the games, they worked very hard to make it a breath taking event. The ceremony at the beginning was a little too long but very impressing.

I love figure skating. The skaters are in great shape and are very athletic. Plus, I admire the way they get up and continue a routine even after they have fallen and messed up their chances of winning. That takes fortitude and guts.\n\nHave to call them as I see them.

Hi,\nLudmila Belousova and Oleg Protopopov are two pionners of figure skating. Russian born, they twice won gold medals in pairs at the Olympic Winter Games (1964, in Innsbruck, Austria, and 1968, in Grenoble, France).  they invented the figure called the "death spiral" where the girl is almost completely parallel to the ice and the guy holds her hand and he pivots.\nIncredible but the Protopopov's are in now in their 60's and they still skate together and perform their signature move in all their shows....\nHop it helps...

I was really hoping that Sasha Cohen would take home the gold and Irina Slitskya would take home silver. I guess it was close. Other than that i was a bit dissapionted with pairs ice dancing.
