Olympic ice skating does anyone ever watch it? I do when I can. Some of the women I am sure watch it but not a lot of men. I tried to ice skate a couple times but I am know good at it. What about you? Do you like to ice skate?

Hi strawberrybaby39, Whenever they give coverage here is when everyone is in bed asleep you want to watch Ice Skating you have to record it here to be able to see it and more so now with Digital Television and the paid for programs. However I have been able to watch the Olympics a few times. Have watched mainly to see my favourite Irina Slutskaya, Kazakova and Dmitriev, The Brits who were in the Ice Dancing I don´t know there names but they were really good. Now Irina is not competing I don´t have a chance to see her at all as there are no Ice Shows as yet here maybe the odd one but all in Barcelona or Madrid. I love the Winter Olympics in general. Ice Skating is beautiful to watch and makes you feel like you want to do the same as they do on the Ice. I miss the British Commentators Simon Reed and Chris Howarth. I like Sasha Cohen too but I believe she might give Ice Skating up to be in Films or something not sure though as I read this online somewhere.

Oh wow late at night there to even watch it? Its in the day time here that we get to watch it on TV. I like to watch them Ice skate. They are so good at it. It takes talent that is for sure to do what they do. I like watching them all it takes a lot to do what they do out there on that ice. They work hard to get there. Lots of practice everyday I am sure.

Hello strawberrybaby39 ,to be honest I really have a fondness for figure skating ,I have tried my best to not miss each of competition of the skating game . In my opinion ,I prefer regared the figure skating as a conpound of beauty and technique ,elegance and strenth ,my favorate player is Mao Asada ,I think she is the best all the time in my heart ,her gesture ,energy and passion really made me a deep impression . Even though she lost her championship lastly but I really wish her a good result in the coming Olympic Games ! Even so I am inclined to believe that she has achieved her immortarity by her commitment on the stage . As to the sports itself , I am so sorry and regretful for not being proficient in it and can experience the real art of the game myself ,so skating freely on the snow-white ice is my long-cherished dream ! Dear strawberrybaby39 ,thank you for confering me a chance to share my feeling about my love with you ,I wish you a progress in skating !

I am sorry I didn't get your message till now. I agree with you it takes talent to do what they do out there on that ice. I think its beautiful to watch what they do. I agree it does take a lot of strength for ice skating. I wish you lots of luck when it comes to your dreams of ice skating. We all have dreams that we would like full filled.
