Evan, Evan, EVAN!!!!
Feb. 19th, 2010 03:58 pmI followed the men's free skate last night on NBC's Olympics website with their live blog and results list. I was only reading about what was happening, yet I think I was just as -- if not more -- nervous as when I've watched the competition on TV! I was hoping so hard Evan would make it (I remember my heart broke for him at the last Olympics)... Was so glad when he was in first after his skate. Was a nervous wreck when the second to last skater was going (the one from Japan who got the bronze I think), worrying if he went ahead of Evan he might possibly finish 4th again. Didn't happen. Huge sigh of relief. Finally Plushenko. I actually left NBC's site, so anxious, and returned five minutes later to see... "Lysacek wins!" It was quiet hours so I whispered-screamed for joy, pumping my fists, chanting "yes, yes, yes!!!!!" What a night.
Just was able to watch the videos of Evan's and Yevgeny's skates. What a great job done by Evan. Yevgeny was good, not as good as in the short program; personally his skating isn't my cup of tea. I almost teared up seeing the video of Evan's reaction to winning: first stunned disbelief and then joy.
WAHOO!!
Anyone else see it?!
