A few months ago, I posted about music choice in gymnastics. Ollie Williams, a Sports journalist for the BBC is currently in Vancouver covering the 2010 Winter Olympics.  Today he posted a new blog post about music choice for figure skaters.

Choices of music in figure skating are becoming increasingly varied and unlikely, as witnessed on Monday at the final night of the ice dance inside Vancouver’s Pacific Coliseum.

The musical accompaniments chosen by the 23 pairs battling for gold ranged from Edith Piaf to Schindler’s List, and from Myleene Klass to Linkin Park. My personal favourites, however, were the Estonian duo skating to Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, and the Hungarians who brought a hip-hop medley to the Olympics.
