I don't see it mentioned but Alysa Liu won the first US women's figure skating medal in 20 yrs. Gold. Just a beautiful skate and incredible that she retired for 2.5 yrs.

Alysa Liu and that 17 yo Japanese girl Ami Nakai were just incredible. Even if you're not a huge figure skating fan (I know I'm not) they're both worth watching.

LOL Same here!

I don't know much about Switzerland, but their flag is a big plus.

It does not feel that close. Switzerland has firm control of the match ATM.

So we are behind basically. Need to make up some ground.
