Brasseur & Eisler

I watched some figure skating at the Olympics tonight and will say I enjoyed it but nothing for me beats the absolute jaw-dropping fun of watching Isabelle Brasseur and Lloyd Eisler. They always chose fun music, they wore great costumes and the way he tossed her around was simply unbeaten.

I saw an interview with their coach once that said Brasseur's first reaction when asked to try out with Eisler was, "No way! I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair."

I'm glad she changed her mind.

Absolutely amazing.

For me, Kurt Browning is almost the only skater that doesn't make me nervously wonder if he's going to fall. Watching him is pure joy.

I only saw a bit of the end of last night - I couldn't BELIEVE how many people were wiping out!!! But congrats to the Chinese team Shen and Zhao - they deserved the gold.
