Three nights of ice dancing? No wonder ratings are down
for the Olympics. Tonight promises to be the final night of ice dancing, with the free skate. Americans Tanith Belbin
and and Ben Agosto are in second place, thanks to some falls by the top teams yesterday.Big-mouthed Bode Miller is back on the slopes, this time in the Giant Slalom. The real talent here, still flying under the radar even after winning a gold medal, is Park City's Ted Ligety. And a cool spectacle tonight will be the men's aerials ski competition.
And, after all these days of hockey, the women of Canada and Sweden will play each other for the gold.
Here's the schedule on all of NBC's networks:
Ice skating returns to NBC primetime tonight with the
finals in the ice dancing competition where an American team is in contention for a medal. But, the real interesting
action on the ice is over at the speed skating track. Americans Chris Witty and Jennifer Rodriguez are both going for
the gold in the 1000m. Expect to see and hear a lot about Witty from NBC tonight. She has overcome some pretty intense
personal problems since winning gold in Salt Lake City.
Oh joy. Ice dancing
begins tonight on NBC. That's one event that I just can't watch because it looks too much like
high-school-drama-club-on-ice to me. They can't jump or do lifts, so they wear weird costumes and look longingly into
each other's eyes. This is much more of an artistic event than a sport. Why is this still in the Olympics?
