Figure Skating is one of my favorite winter sports. In 2010 the Winter Olympic games was held in Vancouver, Canada. At that time, my wife and I had been traveling, so we were not able to see most of the scheduled events in television. When I saw this video in You Tube the other day, I was so delighted, I have to share it with you.
The US won gold in the men's single ( Evan Lysacek), and silver in ice dancing. In the women's single, the US highest representative was ranked fourth and in the Pairs Event, the US highest pair was only in 10th place. But if you enjoy figure skating, this video is a must. It is good way to spend time indoors, to stay away from the over 100 degrees Fahrenheit temperature engulfing us now here in Northern California.
