What a performance by Sarah Hughes last night. Wow! She certainly deserved the gold in my opinion. She nailed every triple jump and was just on. Awesome. The only thing that bothered me is once again, the judging. It seems to me that because Hughes was one of the earlier skaters last night and was not one of the favorites for the gold medal, the judges may have held back on giving her the good scores (5.8s and 5.9s). The judges may have been holding the good scores in the event that the favorites (Kwan, Cohen, and Slutskaya) were better, which was anticipated. So, in the end, Hughes gave the performance of her life, but had to rely on the other skaters to make mistakes, which they did.
What I really liked about Hughes was that she was so relaxed going in. You could see that Kwan, Slutskaya, and Cohen were tight. Go Sarah!
