Do you know what song I'm talking about? It's called Gabriel's Oboe
from The Mission movie soundtrack. It's a very beautiful piece of music that was originally composed by Ennio
Morricone, but none of the skaters have used the original version. I think I heard a version featuring Yo Yo Ma during
the pairs skate. In any case, I think I've heard it more this week than I have heard NBC's Olympics theme song.Think I'm exaggerating? American Matt Savoie used it for his free skate. American pairs skaters Marcy Hinzmann and Aaron Parchem skated to it in their short program. And, Italian Carolina Kostner used it for her short program last night.
None of these skaters performed very well so I think it's fair to say, while beautiful, the song may be cursed.

I'd like to know what piece the woman from Turkey skated to last night. If they said it, I totally missed it. Wish they'd put it at the bottom of the screen or something.

I'd like to know what piece of music Irina Slutskaya skated to in the Champion's Gala. It would help to post them all before they skate, maybe along with their name??
