Most Anticipated Olympics Event Airs Tonight
Tonight, the airways will glitter will sequins, salchows, and slippery spills. Ladies Figure Skating, the mega ratings blockbuster of the Winter Olympics, will debut tonight. Ever since the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan showdown of 1994, this event has no equal. Just to give you an idea how enormous the impact was, the 1994 long program segment of the ladies competition remains the sixth-highest rated television show ever. That’s not the sixth highest rated sporting event. That’s number six on the list of every single television episode or event ever.
Tonight, drama reigns supreme as fans and press still buzz about the absence of Michelle Kwan, her replacement Emily Hughes, and whether Sasha Cohen will blow it yet again. Frankly, we’re a bit tired of this, because of one competitor - Kimmie Meissner. Poor Kimmie. She beat Emily in the Olympic trials, but nobody ever mentions her. Just try to find a single story about Kimmie anywhere. Anywhere. It’s nothing but Emily Emily Emily, Michelle, Michelle, Michelle, and Sasha, Sasha, Sasha.
In fact, a poll showed that many people didn’t even know Kimmie was on the Olympic team.
An extraordinarily talented skater, Kimmie has every chance of making the medal stand. In fact, we’re predicting she’ll grab the bronze, while Sasha, armed with superior training and a far better attitude than she previously held, will finally get the gold. Emily just isn’t experienced or talented enough to medal yet, although she does have a winning personality and the cutest smile on the ice.
Tune in tonight, but first - who are your picks for the medal stand?
