Tonight is the night that NBC has been waiting for: the gold
medal showdown in ladies' figure skating. American Sasha Cohen enters tonight's free skate on top, but by only .06 of a
point over Russian Irinia Slutskaya. Expect to stay up until midnight for the outcome of that competition (or you can
get the results from any news website).Also tonight, to fill the time between figure skating competitors, the women snowboarders compete in the parallel giant slalom. Curling, hockey, bobsledding and marathon speed skating are also on the schedule:
The event that usually garners the most talk is women's figure
skating, and it begins tonight with the short program. With Michelle Kwan out of the competition due to injuries,
American skater Sasha Cohen gets the spotlight. And, Emily Hughes, the younger sister of 2002 Olympic gold medal figure
skater Sarah Hughes, will also hit the ice. No pressure, Emily. Despite all the excitement over Sasha's modeling
contracts and Emily's famous sister, Russian skater Irina Slutskaya is still favored for gold.
