Closing ceremony on in 10 mins

Loved the fifth-ring self-parody choreography

GB got their best medal haul since Chamonix 1924. Go GB!

ok - so what the hell is that creepy-ass gif?!

bear say bye to me

the tear appears to be scarring it's face.

I hate when the Olympics are over.

the cross-country "marathon" was pretty exciting. russia sweeps! i feel bad for norwegian dude.

the american guy, who was not remotely expected to metal, did surprisingly well, esp. in the 1st half. interviewed afterward, he had a real good attitude about it too.

what did people think of the french ice dancing couple's dirty dancing moves in the figure skating gala?

Am I wrong or did Adelina get tangled up in her props during the gala?

medal, not metal

French pair (Pechalat / Bourzat) were my favourites!

Also really liked Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. It's a cliche but they do skate with more soul than Davis / White.

yeah the french duo's gala performance was delightfully tacky, esp. when they switched to the remix.

Is that a dancing Dostoevsky in the closing ceremony now?

K-pop now because the next winter Olympics are in South Korea

The crying bear again...

I love listening to Bezic & Hamilton-- you can almost hear her patting Scott's head when he gets excited.

those two are very good imo, they have just the right tone and timing for announcing figure skating -- it sort of reminds me of hearing margaret juntwait announce opera over the radio. but i do prefer weir and tara -- i think the mcenroe comparison is pretty spot-on

preferred finale

i thought of the leningrad cowboys when NBC briefly featured the Russian Policeman's Choir

remind me what the dia de los muertos imagery is all about
