Although that is impressive, she is obviously very strong, it just doesn’t look appealing to me. I guess I am old school. I just don’t like the way it looks.
I found it to be extremely intriguing. They are a wonderful pair, they’re obviously super strong. The music for this piece was incredible.
do you know what the song was? i know Linkin Park was the group but i’m trying to find the song – they gave a very moving performance!
The Linkin Park song was Krwing. What an amazing night!
Talk about GIRL POWER!! So cool!
Yes. My husband and I were quite surprised by the performance, but very happy to see something quite different in the ice dancing competition. The song the Kerr’s skated to is “Krwlng” by Linkin Park and it is on the Reanimation cd.
Seeing Sinead lift John was the most impressive thing I’ve seen this whole Olympics! I LOVED it!!! It gives me hope for the future, because as on old school feminist, I’d almost given up, but it looks like equality to me! YEAH! You go Girl!
I hope that they continue skating together, and inspire more women skaters to truly show their stuff. Oh, and I give John massive props for his willingness to change the parameters of pairs skating. Congratulations to them both!
