Zhang (the female) landed awkardly on her knees. They stopped for a few minutes to see if she can continue and she did. They skated wonderfully enough for a silver medal. They were well out of a gold medal.

I wasn't even going to watch skating last night but my mom called (and woke me up) saying "phantom of the opera" and of course I'm like "what the hell". She demanded I turn on NBC and I got the end of the long program, so I kept watching. Anyways, I was shocked that they (Zhang and Zhang) were trying the quad (especially when the announcers said that they only successfully completed the quad like 40% during practice, which to me aren't great odds to be attempting an extremely diffcult throw). The way she landed. OMG. I felt so bad for her and I'm 7,000 miles away.
I was happy that they were still able to recieve a medal. It makes me wonder though if falls where someone is possibly injured at docked less than a fall where someone isn't injured? (If that made any sense at all).
BTW does anyone know the music the Russian Pairs couple skated too? I know I've heard it before, but for the life of me I couldn't figure it out. When I'm humming along (and ahead), know the music. I think it might be a soundtrack of some sort. GRRR I hate that I can't remember the name.
