Talk:Figure skating at the 2006 Winter Olympics

message: Sorry about the repeat edits. Technical issues. 
I deleted the sentence about Sarah Hughes because if she's been retired since 2003 she is completely out of the amature picture and not relevant to the 2006 Olympics. Also, about the word "defending", I meant that "defending" should be used only when describing that particular event, and only if that competitor is actually defending that title. --Fang Aili 18:24, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's what you get when someone completely unfamiliar with the sport, like me, writes the page in the first place. So thanks. :) I've just done some more edits to the page - removed some unverifiable claims about "many commentators say" and "some say", and tried to reference the rest. If anyone have a source for it, they're of course free to add it back. Sam Vimes 22:12, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I added something about Zhang and Zhang, unable to footnote but added a url for source. I think the charactization of the Russian gold medal winners is slanted; I recall one female NBC commentator calling their performance "tentative" or "cautious", that they did one lift "so near" the edge of the rink. (He had dropped her in 2004 in a lift.) However, I can't find a reference to that so I didn't add it. They did skate a technically  difficult program.
* Totmianina & Marinin didn't give a great performance, but all the other pairs were even worse, so it is correct that the competition was not even close.   Dr.frog 18:42, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
