Emily Hughes probably won't pull off a "Sarah" though. They interviewed her on the news last night and she was in the US, but said "I'm ready to head for Torino if necessary". Usually, those athletes are there for a while before the games to get used to the time change, the ice conditions, differences in altitude, etc.
Sasha Cohen has a shot though. She looked great at the Nationals where she won Gold. The women usually compete last, don't they?
ETA: No, the Canadian announcers didn't interrupt the announcers. They told interesting tales about each country's delegation and they explained all the symbolism of the other stuff. They did nice biographies of all the women who carried the Olympic flag.
