Congratulations Meryl and Charlie.

And she is adorable! I can't wait for figure skating. It's always one of my favorite Olympic events!

Yes!! I watched the opening ceremony last night with some of my sisters and we screamed every time they showed Meryl on the screen, haha. We're all rooting for her.

Does anyone know what night and time she competes? I want to make sure I do not miss her performance.

She is skating tonight in prime time! I am not sure of the exact time, but it sounded like it was going to be in the latter half of the prime time coverage along with the other American pair.

To be an athlete FOR your school while you are working toward a degree is very difficult. Participating in an event that is not school sponsored almost seems impossible. The hours that the sport demands as well as being a student, has to be daunting. I know the clip said they were currently "part-time" but even at that, can anyone imagine missing four weeks of class and still being able to pass a test? These two are truly amazing. I will be cheering hard tonight!

Thank you, GatorDG, for your gracious compliments.

On Sunday the ice dancing competition continues. This is the original dance. Meryl and White will be dancing on the ice to an Indian theme. The dances begin on Sunday evening after the skiing events are completed for the day.

On the NBC website are short videos of some earlier performances.
