Ice dancing - oh Canada!
Feb. 23rd, 2010 12:45 amD'aaaawwww, congratulations to the adorable Canadian couple for the gold in ice dancing. Not only was it nice for the poor old North Americans to finally get two medals in ice dancing, but that they went to such a couple of sweet, talented, and nice teams is frosting on the cake. (Though I confess, I did like the routine of White and Davis a shade more, maybe because I just fell in love with them during their original dance competition last night.) And to have it on Canada's home turf was just... Canadians must be fair to bursting with pride.
I thought it was so sweet that they were best friends with Davis and White and trained together. It seems a long way from the men's skating, where Plushenko was pouting and smirking the whole time and playing up his villain status. Here you had people who genuinely seemed to like each other, and everyone was gracious about it.
You could tell the Russians weren't super happy, but at least Domnina only pouted a little, and they were adult enough to give the gold and silver winners hugs. Geez, though, Tanith Belbin and Oksana Domnina's costumes were fugly, and their partners' weren't much better, either. Hideous, hideous. I felt a little sorry for the Italians; I didn't think they were that bad but everyone seemed to have dismissed them from the start. Poor kids.
The original dance program last night was monumentally irritating -- I felt like if I saw one more routine from another country doing some sort of country/cowboy crap, I would break the TV. I don't want to get into the costume controversy, so I guess that was my own program controversy -- stop with the country cowboy western shit.
Anyways. Yay adorable Canadians and Americans!
