February 18

Meryl Davis and Charlie White

edit

Meryl Davis and Charlie White (figure skater) won the Olympic gold medal yesterday for ice dancing. Is there anywhere on the internet where I can see a video of their winning performance? I checked on You Tube, and they seem to have only past performances from older competitions. Also, if possible, a video of the medals awarding ceremony? Is any of this stuff out there? Thanks.

It might be on the NBC Olympics website. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots23:27, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Try this: [1] You'll have to put up with an ad or two first. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots23:30, 18 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that was perfect ... thanks! Can anyone find the medal ceremony for this? Thank you. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 00:10, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
NBC only just this evening showed it, so I expect it will be available on the website at some point. Immediately after the event, they gave the couples bouquets, with the medal presentation to come some time later. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots05:54, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks. I will check the NBC website. However, I had always thought that they give the medals pretty much immediately after the events. No? Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 18:17, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I thought too. But they made the specific point at the end of the dance competition that they were awarding bouquets in the ice arena and that the medal presentation would be later, in the Olympic park. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots23:02, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmmmm. I wonder why that was? Thanks for the help above. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 22:18, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea. When the Canadian women won gold today, the medal presentations were done immediately afterward, in the arena, as I would have expected. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots00:50, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
