Apparently NBC isn't even covering it live? lol America. There are 6 networks covering it live here.

I just wish we could see it without the edits and the distracting commentary.  It was wonderful even so, but I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't wondering what they weren't showing me - like in London where they edited out the memorial to terror victims.  Apparently this time there were giant animatronic mascots.

This would have been the standing if they had just added up everyone's scores instead of the 10-9-8-etc. on the team figure skating:

866.63    Russia
814.28    Canada
784.31    United States
701.46    Japan
695.82    Italy
261.98    France
258.99    China
250.63    Germany
209.48    Ukraine
205.12    Great Britain

Japan and Italy would have flipped.

Thanks, I was wondering about that. I really enjoyed the team figure skating but I found the scoring odd - I guess they do it that way because some of the events have different maximum scores - actually, I'm not sure there are maximum scores

Damnit NBC, you keep showing commercials building up women's ski jumping, and then fail to show it in Primetime!?!  I wish I could watch it online, but the plug-in on the NBC website isn't compatible with my 6 yr old operating system.

Ah Yevgeny    His back was hurting so he left the ice without competing, while Russia showed their appreciation. At least he helped Russia win the team event before his retirement.

Jeremy Abbott's performance after his side slammed into the ice was incredible.
