Olympics and Icons

Preview:


The Winter Olympics has been really thrilling so far! I really enjoyed the Opening Ceremony, especially the parts with the Indians and the Irish jigging! The punk style was a bit weird though.

I'm mostly cheering for Korea, especially in speed skating, short track, and ladies figure skating. The Koreans have been doing pretty well thus far inspite of the crash in short track. I'm sure they'll make up for that, though! I'm really looking forward to the ladies' figure skating which starts on Tuesday. Such a LOOOOOOOONG wait!!!!!!!!!!! Lol.

Tonight will complete the men's skating. I really hope Plushenko wins the gold! I also like the Japanese Takahashi, the Czech Brezina, and the Canadian Chen. Lysacek was okay, I suppose. I didn't really like his style. *shrugs*

I was really happy to see Lindsay Vonn win the gold, despite her shin injury. I hope she does well in her other event as well!

Well, here are some icons to tide us over during the wait! :D

These are all lovely, I might sneak some!
Could you tell me where you've found that Simon Wood's picture for number 19, please? It's gorgeous.

I think you meant #14, the one with Dr. Harrison? I got it from Shootastic, but you have to register to see most of the images there. They have great HQ promotional stills as well as screencaps. Here's the link: http://musearchives.net/shootastic/displayimage.php?album=18&pos=17

Lovely icons dear!

I wish Patrick Chan had of won, but I'm really glad he got at least 5th, and if he was happy with it, I'm fine. :) I'm sure he'll be around for quite some time and I think he's off to a good start in his Olympic career. :)

Ooh, I love #16 — the background fits nicely with the picture and the colouring is soft and pretty. Saving and will be sure to credit. Thank you!
