Russia-USA
Went to the men’s figure skating tonight and a fight broke out. No, seriously. It was pretty stunning. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw some commotion. When I looked over, I noticed one Asian woman pushing another. Then the men started getting into it, one woman pushed the other and all hell broke loose. Well, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but the ushers did have to come down to tell everyone to cool it. Then the police came and removed the offending parties. Bizarre, especially after attending the more traditionally violent sport of hockey the other day where everyone got along fine. You can see a photo of the police removing the party on my flickr page here.
In this photo is Evgeni Plushenko preparing for his skate to try and knock the American, Evan Lysacek, off the top of the podium. He was not successful.
