The glare of the Olympics

Just because Ice Dancing's not a sport doesn't mean I don't enjoy some of it. My favorite moment in the competition is recalled in this article from today's NY Times. Just as the Italian couple was finishing their routine on Sunday night Maurizio Margaglio fell over and dropped his partner Barbara Fusar Poli. When they finished Fusar Poli fixed a stare on him that scared the daylights out of me and I was a thousand miles away.

The picture shown here by the Times doesn't really capture it. This one is better. I'm sure he was just glad she couldn't possibly have concealed any weapons in her skimpy costume.
