I guess you missed everyone else falling and making mistakes too. The gold was in the bag after the short program yesterday. Only the Canadian had a chance, but he fell more than twice. Oh, and last night's score of 101 carrying over, which was the highest score ever awarded.
A gold well deserved.

Here is a good link about Delta's CEO talking about Japan and their closed skies when it comes to foreign companies.
