What does that mean? It means a nasty fall and a silver medal for the pair skaters Zhang and Zhang.
Skating to the tune of "The Descendants of the Dragon", Zhang Hao threw Zhang Dan the quad salchow which had the 20-year old Dan ended up crashing down on the ice in visibly excruciating pain. Undeterred and unbelievably, the pair still summoned the Olympics courage, whatever that means, and finished with a Silver.
The Russian pair won the Gold but the Zhangs definitely won the crowd or at least me over.

Yeah, I also think the Zhangs are great. But this time around, the Russians are even greater.

Yes, I also watched the news, it touch my heart, particularly the 20 year old pretty Chinese girl
ReplyDeleteI think the Zhangs actually did the throw quad salchow in Chinese National and landed all right. But not on this Olympics.
ReplyDeleteThe Russians were good and they had been the Gold Medalists for 18 consecutive Olympics runs. (Hope my read was correct.) One can even made the arguement that the Russian pair skied perfect but lacked emotional excitement and "fluidity" in their routine: in short they were playing it safe to ensure the Gold.
The Chinese are making unbelievable progress in the Olympics, not only on ski programs but track and fields.
The Chinese aren't Weaklings of the Far East as the Japs once hoped we were.
