Women's Figure Skating...spoiler... [View all]

Pleasantly surprised to see all three women in the top 6...the commie Russian who the judges are trying to rig it for must have really messed up to get down to 4th...if memory serves me, Caroline Kostner always does well in the short then drops in the long...Gracie Gold is in a particualrly good position at 3.
