I'm really enjoying the slope-style snowboarding. The air they get is pretty dang amazing. I really enjoyed Sage Kotsenburg, the guy who won gold last night--he brought some real flare! I was surprised he held his lead because some of the other runs seemed to me to be equally as good. But maybe I'm not the best judge! Maybe the actual judges are the best judge. . . . And I can't complain; I'm always happy to see an American win the gold.
I'm going to echo the sentiments above about ice skating. I recognized a few names--Jeremy Abbot, Patrick Chan--and of course knew Plushenko, but I wouldn't have been able to conjure the names up out of thin air. Same with the ladies, though I was aware of Ashley Wagner because of the pre-Olympic drama there. I also loved the little Russian girl, Lipnitskaya. The ice dancing is super fun, too.
