Zhang and Zhang 2006 Olympics

[rosa_cotton]

Zhang and Zhang winning the silver medal in pairs figuring skating competition at the Turin Olympics was one of the most memorable highlights of the games for me. Her fall was so scary and yet it was unbelievable she went on and finished the program. Theirs was a courageous and moving performance (and wonderful choice of music). I don't think I'll forget that for a very long time.

I love them!!! I have a tape of the pair's competition, and I just watched it again a few weeks ago. I felt soooo, sooooo bad when she hurt herself because I had wanted the Russian team to win and I yelled "Fall!" right when he threw her. That was the last time I've shouted anything like that to the TV during a sports program. I felt so bad I cried. Seriously.

They are an awesome pair for finishing great like that. I wonder if they'll be competing in the next Olympics or if they've retired. Hmmmm... Would they have that kind of information yet? I might go check it out right now.

They are beautiful skaters. I saw the pair's competition live and gasped when she fell.

I don't know if they've retired or not. I'm not sure how -- and when -- ice skaters decide if they will try to compete in the Olympics.
