Favorite Olympic moment?

[GQgeek]

For me it was definitely watching Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir. I had no interest in ice dancing or really the olympics in general going into last week. I saw their second performance by accident when I was eating a late dinner and I swear to god I was choked up when they finished their performance. It was that good. When I tuned in the next night for them I was more anxious than for the gold medal game in hockey. Their performance to Mahler's 5th was nothing short of poetic.

Just watched it on CTV's rerun. Unreal. And to the gorgeous Mahler 5 Adagietto. Stunning. As for one? Can't. Too many.

You should have seen their previous dance. It was also fantastic. I want to see their first (the compulsory?) but the ctv olympics site videos haven't been working for me.

The fail of the opening being fixed at the closing.

the female commentator in the australian broadcast for tessa and scotts dance was having an orgasmic experience when watching their free dance. she also had this funny 'woah' moment for yuna kim's 150 score. mine was one of the womens short track relay. so much heat between the koreans and chinese

My favorite part is that it's finally ******* over and life, and my television programming, can return to normal.

+billion. The closing ceremony was embarrassing. Cheesy as all hell.

WTF...they could not hire the Cirque du Soleil folks to do something interesting?
