Today in Sochi is the start of the ladies figure skating competition, probably the most anticipated competition in the Olympics.  The short program will get underway this morning and NBC will broadcast their cut of the competition this evening.  

The US has three great competitors in the mix with Gracie Gold, Ashley Wagner and Polina Edmunds.  But as with any competition, this is not going to be easy.  In the mix we have relative newcomer Russian skater Yulia Lipnitskaya and Korean superstar Yuna Kim.  Not to mention that Mao Asada and Akiko Suzuki are also powerful competitors, though they have been known to have an off day.

Best of luck to all the ladies today, we can’t wait to watch!
