I suppose I could have said live, but I've only ever seen it on television, so that's all that really makes my life. My mom and sister and I used to love watching figure skating when I was a little kid. I remember I used to know the names of all the major US skaters, and in the winter we would watch competitions and exhibition performances all the time. For whatever reason that little family tradition (along with a lot of traditions, sadly) never really followed us to Texas, perhaps because the southern states are less prone to broadcast figure skating competitions. Watching the Olympics, however, I can't believe that I managed to forget how much I love watching this sport. The best people make it look so easy that for a second you forget that most of us can barely skate forward on ice.

I was thinking about that the other night while watching the men's short program. I noticed that I had no idea who any of those people were. We used to know who all the great figure skaters of the 90's like Tara Lipinsky, Michelle Kwan, and Kurt Browning.
Yeah. It was fun listening to Scott Hamilton commenting. I recognized his voice before someone even mentioned who was speaking.
