2010 Vancouver Olympics 2/15/10

Yesterday, there was only one event I didn't cover, as I had logged off before it ended.
This event, was the pairs skating.
This event had so much, relying on everyone.
For example, the russian pair of Yuko Kawaguchi, and Alexander Smirnov, was trying to continue a what seemed to be a never ending winning streek by the Russians. The russians were trying so hard to keep that streek, they brought in Yuko, who was originally from China, but became a citizen of Russia to become a member of the team.
Unfortunately, this pair din't get a medal, as they barely placed fourth, losing to a one-two punch by the Chinese, taking silver and gold. Gold went to Zhao Hongbo, and Shen Xue, and silver went to Pang Qing, and Tong Jian, whereas bronze went to german couple Robin Szolkowy and Aliona Savchenko.
Canada and USA were nowhere to be seen, as they placed as high as 6th (Canada) and 10th (USA).

Now over to today's events.
I'll start with the big event, still going on now... Men's single figure skating.
Right now, the Russian who has just come out of retirement, Evgeni Plushenko, is in first, by a short score, just shy of his personal best, 90.85, which is in the lead by 0.60 points, in-front of Japan's Daisuke Takahashi.

In Curling, in both women's and men's , USA lost, and Canada won by one, where USA lost by two in both, to, in the women's, Japan, 9-7, and in men's, to Germany 7-5, where Canada, in the women's, won 5-4, over Switzerland, and in men's, won 7-6 over Norway.
