I didn't watch it, me being a jinx and all, but I knew right away something big happened because Ms Kim Yuna's form was splattered all over the news sites, including the New York Times above.
Indeed, she not only came out on top in the women's figureskating short program, she set a world record with her score. But the medal work is not over, and we'll have to see how she does tomorrow (and then I'll watch it online after that... the whole jinx thing).
UPDATE (two days later):
Kim Yuna has won the gold!

Haha...I didn't realize your jinx thing trickled over into figure skating too. I was watching Yuna skate last night and there was no trouble, so I guess I'm cleared.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how far my jinx goes, and I don't want to test it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it doesn't apply to figure skating, though: As many Yuna haters like to say, it's not a real sport anyway. ;)
