Winter Olympics No Video Thread

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

What is your favorite music... movie soundtracks.... classical... combinations...pop/rock combos.... I prefer movie soundtracks if I recognize the movie and how skater interact with the theme.... MacArthur Park is fun and with her interviews....it now makes sense...as I don't remember her as young skater

Movie soundtracks are good. I can't say I can recall an exact song specifically at this exact moment for figure skating but will say I've found over the years I do like the more modern take on song choice rather than a more classical song genre, sometimes classical songs work but unless the performance is just amazing in tricks I find I'm a little less invested . Sometimes the more funny comical tracks lends to a more interesting skating run especially if you have pairs.

I can say that the usage of Lindsey Stirling in the Paris 2024 summer Olympics by Suni Lee was a very good choice. Lindsey Stirling's songs can build and pack a punch and it worked perfect for the song "Eye of the Untold Her" for Suni's routine. That one sticks out in my memory at this exact moment.

Big fan of Olympics in general - especially the fringe sports that I watch once every four years, like curling. Not a huge figure skating fan, but most everything that's on, I'll likely be watching.

Figure skating for sure. Rooting for Ilia Malinin. Hope he gets to go home with some medals. I hope the US women can podium this year. I think Sasha Cohen was the last one to medal in 2006.
