I have not seen the gala yet but I'm thinking that maybe Eurosport won't show it. It's only on for about 1hr & 40 mins (that's if the football does not over run). Remember how they ruined the gala last year?. Also I agree about the judging. Remember when they said they were going to change the judging after the pairs scandal at the 2002 Olympics?. I always said- Don't change the judging but change the judges !. They soon found out way's with this system to keep their favourites on top. It's a shame because so many great skaters over the years have been denied Gold medals because of this. Even my cat left the room when the French beat the Kerr's ! ;D .

Don't get me started on the judging - I think the new system is pretty bad. The fact that the judges are completely anonymous is something which I can't get my head around. What if a judge heavily favours a skater/couple and they then win? We'll never know who that judge was. On the old system, you knew exactly who gave what mark.

I burst out laughing halfway through! From the costumes, to the shades, to the bizzare choreography - what a mess. S&J were ace though - I love the new routine!

Thanks to Eurosport's terrible coverage I did not get to see J & S Gala routine, shame. But now the Euro's are over I find myself getting nervous about the Olympic's. So many questions.......... Will the BBC or Eurosport show it? Will Jana Khoklova's fashion sense get better? Will Delobel & Shoenfelder win gold? Will it be a North American lock-in for a North American Olympic's? Will I be able to stay awake through the night to watch it? Will I be able to put up with Sue Barker?(us Brits know what I mean!) Will I be able to watch it without getting so angry at the bad judging without throwing my remote control at the tv? Only time will tell......................

Will the BBC or Eurosport show it? I found this article about BBC coverage of the Olympics on the BBC website: news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/olympic_games/vancouver_2010/8468322.stmIt could be more specific but I suppose it's a start and it sounds promising!!

I loved Muse's Ex. it was so great I felt the same way. They skated on the 3rd part of Muse's Exogenesis Symphony called Redemption.

I would love to hear what S&J thinks of Euros..... their own performance , the others, the Gala, the fans.... all of it! ....time for a new Diary entry, perhaps?

Well folks, I'm back from Thailand.
As usual, the judging did not match the best performances. Faiella/Scali should have got the gold - they were fab, their new FD is right up there with Yentl from 2008.
DomShabs were overmarked. I guess being former Euro and World Champs that happens ...
No way should the Kerrs have been behind the French. But I guess 4th or 5th they would still have been outside the medals. However, with better performances they were capable of getting a medal again.
I hope they don't retire after Olympics. I know it's their decision but I would love to see one more season from them ...
