Whose brilliant idea was it to interlace the snowboard cross events with the ice dancing??? There are 4 quarterfinal races, then a half hour of ice dancing, then 2 semifinals, then another half hour of dancing, then they manage to randomly squeeze the final snowboard cross race into a 3 minute segment that I'll likely miss because I'm flipping through the channels as soon as the dancers joyously bring their bouncy flamboyance back out onto the ice...
Update: still sucks, but at least they didn't put something between the semifinals & finals like yesterday. I think the flavor that snowboard cross brought the Olympics is worth it... Lindsey's grab totally sucked, but there aren't many race-sports where the competitors would have the stones to throw a trick down at the risk of taking a digger & losing their place. As stupid and impractical as it sounds, it's all because they love what they're doing.
