    A quibble with the above write-up

    For the first time in decades, the U.S. skating team has no clear-cut Olympic medal contender.

    While that is painfully true in the ladies skating, there are other disciplines in figure skating, too. The US currently boasts the reigning world champion in men's figure skating (Evan Lysacek) and the reigning silver medalists in ice dancing (Belbin and Agosto). They've been performing well this season, too: all three just won Skate America in their respective fields. We'll see Ol' Glory hoisted over that icy podium yet. #horses

    There's Kim Yu Na of South Korea, the woman who's a good bet to win the Olympic gold. She's skating to a medley of James Bond music for her short program. #horses

    I wonder if all the male horses stand on the perimeter and complain to each other about how the female horses walk away with a sneer when they go up behind them and start grinding awkwardly. And then stare down the girl horses while trying to figure out why they can't get a date. #horses

    @J.D.Regent: I don't have qualms with it because they are talking about serial abusers and men with allegations from several different women. It isn't as if a guy gets accused once and than put on the list. #horses

    Rachael Flatt should definitely make the women's figure skating team. She was the only woman to skate a flawless program at Skate America, and even beat out Kim Yu-Na, who is the tops in the world. Honestly, the Olympic gold is Yu-Na's to lose, so whoever the U.S. sends they'll have to pull out something miraculous to get the gold. #horses

    @rhymenoceros: She had a higher score in the long program than Kim Yu Na, but Yu Na still won by over 13 points (thanks to a huge lead in the short program), just to be clear.

    And Yu Na is not the only major contender for gold, even if she's a pretty good bet. There's also Miki Ando (Japan), Joannie Rochette (Canada) and Mao Asada (Japan), all of whom regularly top the scoreboard with huge scores beyond what Rachael usually gets. They'd all need to have a meltdown for Rachael to have a chance. Rachael's main weakness is her terrible component scores. She lacks the flair, flow and flexibility of most top skaters. That's just not something that can be fixed in a hurry. #horses

    @Kilotwat: I realize that Kim Yu-Na won the event, which is why I specified the long program versus overall.

    And despite how excellent the ladies that you named are, Kim Yu-Na still holds the record in short, free, and combined scores. She's also won her Grand Prix competitions by double digits.

    I also realize that Rachael has some big flaws...which is why I said she would have to pull off something miraculous to win the gold. Or medal, probably. #horses

    In reply to South African Olympics Official Suspended Over Semenya Case
    It was obvious from the beginning, to me anyway, that ASA was the real fuck up here, not IAAF. IAAF was right to ask for an inquiry into Semenya, and ASA is the one who lied to the world (and to Semenya herself), and allowed Semenya to compete even though they knew she would be questioned.

    It's really sad that she will likely not be able to compete against women any more, but I still think it would be even MORE unfair to the other women who would have to compete against someone with exponentially more testosterone. #leonardchuenesuspended

    Sex testing. Sex. Not gender. Semenya's gender was never in dispute. The BBC may be correct in many things, but about this they are not. I'd love it if Jezebel could buck the misinformation trend and use the correct terminology. Surely we owe that, at the very least, to Caster Semenya. #leonardchuenesuspended
