In an alternate universe..
On FSU, following the men's final of the World Figure Skating Championships:Remembering the immortal quote from Orson Wells in "The third man" : "In Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed. But they produced Michaelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The Cuckoo clock."
I must say: No, Switzerland has produced something better than Cuckoo clock (and the Red Cross, chocolat swiss - uhhhmmmm - and enormous cow bells that scare poor souls while figure skating competition ), they have the incredible STEPHANE LAMBIEL!!!
Yes, ladies and gentleman, a Swiss has won the men's competition. After the unbeatable Evgeny Plushenko had to withdraw after several severe injuries (about TIME, crazy man!), everyone still in the competition must have thought, "OMG that means I actually have a chance for first!" and proceeded to wipe the ice with their butts. I look painfully to the direction of Brian Joubert, especially. (From 2nd to 13th in the freeskate and 6th overall. Ouch.)
I'm very proud of my Jeffy for winning the silver, even though his butt was introduced abruptly to the ice twice. Er, next time, don't do that okay? Actually I would have rather seen him skate cleanly than see him on the podium with a marred program, but I guess you can't have everything, LOL...
