Lesson 5: Ladies figure skating / VIDEO Script

John:
Hi Al. How did you spend the day yesterday? Did you have the time to watch the ladies figure skating final at the Vancouver Olympics?

Al:
I was glued to the television, like most people in Japan who were lucky enough to have the time. What about you? Did the competition live up to your expectations?

John:
Well, the performances of all the top skaters were out of this world, but I must admit that Korea’s Yu-na Kim’s performance was in a different league.

Al:
Yes, Kim’s performance was flawless, and I think this put pressure on Asada to raise her game, and she just couldn’t come up with the goods. I see that some journalists in Japan are calling Kim a robot.

John:
Well, I must admit that I have never seen such a perfect performance. I think the target she set was beyond the capabilities of the other skaters. But Japan can hold its head high, I think. Don’t you?

Al:
Sure. Even though Mao missed out on gold, she made Olympic history by landing 3 triple axels in the competition. And for me, the Japanese skaters all showed the right spirit.
