Wasn't ice skating more interesting when they were breaking each other's legs?

Yes they do beat each other but drama is more involved for entertainment purposes.

Of the sports in the Winter Olympics, I have to admit that skeleton bob is quite mad, but not the maddest. I think that honour has to go to Speed Skiing in Albertville in 1992. It was only a demonstration sport, but the winner was clocked at 212kph (not a sensible speed by any stretch of the imagination)

How about "The Miracle on Ice"  US defeats Soviets.  \n\nHappened in 1980 Winter Olympics

yes, the skater's movement would be different. Because the skater weighs more, the force would not accelerate the skater as quickly and the speed would be lower.

That's hilarious. But I bet a sport called shaving or tweezing would be much more exciting.\n\nI don't know, maybe tweezing could be getting one of the team members stuck in a hole and the other guys have to pull him out.\n\nShaving is much more dangerous. That's when ice skaters take turns skating across a frozen pond and then shaving the ice over a particular section. If they don't get the whole section of if they fall in, they lose. (Don't worry, they'll all be wearing life ropes and have EMTs on hand.)

Actually that's not all that hard to do. Heavy lifting and construction work can often cause it. I know a few who have done such a thing while sledding with their kids.....

I hate it. You have far less control. I work at a rink and see so many more injuries to this crappy sport. What kind of person wants to run on ice in shoes?

I think its really awesome, since so many other American people have gotten themselves injured or just didn't do as well. People like Bode Miller and the speed skater Ohno. At least the US dominates in snowboarding!

Of course not. Freaks are people who you can't explain their actions. Skaters are just getting exercise and having fun.

yes its dangerous because people do often get hurt at concerts like this, but he could just as easily get hurt skate boarding or doing something else. everything is dangerous...

Its very tiring to skate back and forth on the ice, so they rotate people in and out to give them a rest.  The goalies dont skate around much, and so dont get as tired.

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.

Neither. \nThey both are letting their issue get way out of hand, neither one seems to be willing to let it go (forgive, forget and move on), and just skate. \nThey both seem to be pretty stuck on themselves.\nGranted they are rivals from the same country, but come on...you can congratulate a rival - they congratulated the Italian.\nThere is definately more going on, but still you think that two of the best skaters in the world could act civil.
