by Anna Johns, posted Feb 20th 2006 12:18PM
Three nights of ice dancing? No wonder ratings are down
for the Olympics. Tonight promises to be the final night of ice dancing, with the free skate. Americans Tanith Belbin
and and Ben Agosto are in second place, thanks to some falls by the top teams yesterday.Big-mouthed Bode Miller is back on the slopes, this time in the Giant Slalom. The real talent here, still flying under the radar even after winning a gold medal, is Park City's Ted Ligety. And a cool spectacle tonight will be the men's aerials ski competition.
And, after all these days of hockey, the women of Canada and Sweden will play each other for the gold.
Here's the schedule on all of NBC's networks:
The Olympics: Day 6

One of the athletes to watch tonight is not an American. It's
Croatian Alpine Skier Janica Kostelic, who won four gold medals in her sport in Salt Lake City. Her brother, Ivica, won
the silver medal in the slalom last night. Americans Julie Mancuso and Lindsey Kildow, who was injured during a training
run earlier this week, are also in medal contention.There are some Americans to watch, too. Apolo Anton Ohno races in the 1000m speed skate and hopefully he'll be able to stay on his feet for this one. Also, gorgeous Jeremy Bloom (seriously, girls, look at him) competes in the moguls.
Here's tonight's line-up on all of NBC's stations:

The winter Olympics begin
this evening with the opening ceremonies on NBC. That means, for the next two weeks, you'll hear a lot of people
chanting, "USA! USA!"Personally, I love the Olympics. I let myself get caught up in the drama and the action, even though I'm definitely not a sports fan any other time of the year. The most popular sport during the winter Olympics by far is figure skating, specifically women's or pairs skating. Here, I'm listing the other sports that I will definitely be watching:
