2. That is much better than NBC's coverage.

I'm tired of Sandra Bezic's constant complaining and Scott Hamilton's endless grunts and yelps.

3. Bezic wants to rechoreograph everything ....

& Hamilton wants desperately for skating to be as vocal as football.

I love how he desscribes jumping "passes", borrowing a phrase from gynastics that no figure skater uses. Swoon. :eyes:

Some of the stuff is just amazing, really great jump music, clean up the house stuff.

I'm glad people here are finally starting to discover there's great music offshore.
