That woman can skate! Duh, that's obvious. She had on this gorgeous blue outfit and just lit the ice on fire. She's so graceful and skilled. She really deserved her gold medal. She had a performance for the ages. It's nice to see somebody win without controversy, who just went out and performed on another level, under pressure and on the biggest stage of them all. I think that's what winning is all about. All the hard work, all the years of training, the mental toughness etc. You do it to put it all on the line when it all matters. To win the Big Dance like that has to be special. Not even describable. :)
