I asked the same question about the 4-person bobsled races. It seems that the two in the middle just push and get in and are pretty much dead weight, while the guy in front steers and the guy in back is responsible for braking when they get to the end of the track. Yeah, whats the point of four people?
The figure skating love fest is tradition, at least that what they kept saying. The skaters get to show off their *talents* without the pressure of competition.
I noticed that they were letting the woman skaters wear pants (or body suits)this year, thats unusual, their costumes used to have to be to specific guidlines. The skirts had to be a certain length and they couldn't expose their shoulders (did you ever notice that many of them have skin tone fabric on the shoulders and/or sleeves.) I was suprized to see the changes myself. I used to be a skater, I wore those little skirts that flip up and show your butt! I was much thinner then.
