Bitter Sweet


I feel very conflicted about last nights skating upset by Shizuka Arakawa of Japan. On one hand I can't deny the girl was good- graceful, clean jumps, and a cute costume (which made up for her short program outfit). But despite this I was secretly hoping either Sasha or Irina Slutskaya would take home the gold. Why? Well jews simply don't wish other jews to fail- especially since Sasha'a ancestors were the high priests of Israel. And who's heart didn't ache watching Irina give it her all for her sick mother?
