Ok; Zhang & Zhang are incredible. How she got up & completed the programme after a fall like that is mind boggling.

I don't suppose anyone knows the composer of the piece that Marinin & Totmianina danced to? It was announced as "Romeo & Juliet", but it wasn't by a composer I recognised.

Saw user icon, read "Zhang & Zhang are incredible", leapt to conclusion that you had strange nicknames for parts of your body.

Um.

As for the music, various web sites talking about them say that the music is from a film version of Romeo & Juliet (but which film version?) and is played (and maybe composed? it's not clear) by violinist Edvin Marton.

Thank you :) That's the best name for them I've heard. It's going to stick, I reckon.

I'll add those clues to the list I'm compiling. Though, knowing me, I'll conclude that it was written by Miss Scarlet in the Library with the Lead Pipe.

I have that Romeo & Juliet music, I think it's from the Zeffirrelli (I wasn't sure how to spell the name, so just put 2 of everything in) film, which I love love love a lot. I'll copy you the cd if you like, it's strange, cos it has words from the play, and music, and more words from the play all together.

Oooh, yes please! Even if it's not the same, soundtracks are always good, at least in parts :)

Weren't they all good!! I just wished (like Robin Cousins) that they wouldnt keep showing that fall...it HURT!...
I think the music was by Edwin Barton. I didnt know the name either but suspect Nannyo is right. Wasnt it all SO good to watch.
God I wish I could skate like that (or do anything that well come to think of it) instead of doing prat falls as soon as feet and skates get onto ice. I grew up near Richmond Ice Rink in its day THE place to go for skating and I was never able to learn how. But one day a friend who could skate towed me round in the middle and it was a wonderful feeling.

Amazing wasn't it. I didn't mean to watch it. I thought I was going to watch Balderdash and piffle but wow. The Russians were amazing but how she managed to keep going I just don't know.

Yes, whatever else I intended to watch Iam always seduced by the olympics. For a totally non sport person like me its a bit of a strange obsession, but I am fascinated by the grace and elegance of people doing something really well. Watch the hands of a skilled carpenter /pianist etc to see what I mean. Only the really good can make things look that simple and elegant. Very pleasing.
