Some of them were actually quite pretty once they removed their awful hats. Surely you don't have to wear appalling stuff in order to skate fast! And blech for the female speed-skaters!

Sasha Cohen's costume, for example, was a shade garish but basically very pretty and flattering. And the Swiss contestant's dress (can't remember her name) was quite tasteful indeed. So what's with the couples? Why do the girls all look like extras from "Showgirls"?

The bobsled and luge people are all wearing Spiderman costumes. The American speed skaters look OK, not very inspired (navy and gray), but clean and simple and not garish, for a change of pace.

I was surprised to see you leave that one alone! Perhaps they were awarded the gold for being brave enough to feature that outfit. -The Discriminating Omnivore The Manolo,

Where is the Dolce? the Gabbana? The costumes looked as if they were designed by the orangesicle who's had too much of the plastic surgery.
