Crazy Crap Item #37: The part where the other guy outdoes himself

OK, so pairs long program. The last pair is from China, and they're planning a throw quad salcow. Yeah, QUAD. That's huge. And, alas, they munch it. The woman takes an awful, knee-crunching fall. But she gets up, they start over and they finish -- which is pretty spectactular. And they win silver.

But really, did the announcer need to say, of the female skater, "Who could believe someone so slight could have a heart as big as a skating rink"?

No, he really didn't need to say that.
