Yes. I thought their (the Shibutanis') difficulty level may have been too low for the Olympics, but they're really young yet (Maia is 19, no?)
There seem to be a lot of Les Mis tributes this year. I don't think anyone's skated to Ravel's Bolero yet, which I fully expect at some point. Supposedly it was at one point considered bad skating music (and I can hear why), but now someone always tries to be edgy and skate to it anyway.
The outfits this year don't seem to be anywhere as tacky as they were in Vancouver, fortunately. For the Free Dance in Vancouver, they had to pick a culture/country and pay tribute somehow, and you can imagine (or no doubt saw) some of the tacky and offensive shit that came out of that.

Did you see any of the Ladies' Short Program?
