Many of you know that I am a big fan of figure skating. It's something I became interested in during the 1992 Olympics. Anyway, I just had to boast about the results of the Ice Dancing competition in Torino (you know, the Olympics). Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto, a U.S. ice dancing team, won the SILVER MEDAL in Ice Dance tonight. The last (and only) time a U.S. ice dance team has won an Olympic medal was in 1976...and it was bronze. So not only did Tanith and Ben win the first Olympic ice dance medal for the U.S. in 30 years, they placed higher than ANY U.S. team has ever placed in that event. Woohoo!
Tomorrow is the ladies' figure skating competition begins. More fun! It's a good thing the Olympics only happen every four years. Otherwise, I'd NEVER get any sleep.
