@farmerman,
Oh. Sorry for being snippy.
BTW, I'll be offline for a few days. The power supply on my computer died. I'm just borrowing a computer to order a new power supply.
I watch a lot of figure skating. My grandma likes figure skating, and she would miss most of the events if I didn't record them and play them for her. Plus it gives us an activity in common to spend together.
If I didn't record and watch it with my grandma, I'd probably only pay attention to figure skating during the Olympics. But as it stands I tend to see every competition that is significant enough to appear on a cable channel, so I get pretty familiar with all of the skaters and how good they are.
I think I've been lucky in some of my guesses too. Some of them were safe guesses. Ice Dance in particular is easy to predict because there aren't any risky jumps. It is simply a question of the more skilled skaters doing harder routines. And in ladies singles the Russian women this year were definitely going to get gold and silver. They were lightyears ahead of everyone else. But with some of the other guesses, while they were certainly plausible, I was surprised that I did as well as I did.
