What were they skating to?
Is there a website that lists the music that the Olympic ice skaters are using in their programs? I heard a lovely piece of music while watching tonight and I'd like to know what it was!

You certainly read my mind. I kept saying, "what movie is that from?" Thanks for asking this question!

charmcityblues - the website doesn't seem to list anything but "Bohemian Rhapsody" for the Swiss pairs. Where do you see the rest of the music list?

Response by poster: Yes, that's the piece of music to which I was referring! I KNEW I'd heard it somewhere but couldn't figure it out!

tzikeh: To answer the question I think you're asking, the last column in the ranking table is a plus sign. If you click on that, you get more information about each pair, what they did in their routines and what they skated to. You can also click on the plus sign in the table header and you get the expanded information for all of the pairs.

For at least some skaters, their wikipedia page will have this information.

The Internation Skating Union also has bios on the skaters with their current season's music.

I found the source of that particular routine by googling the couple's name + short program music.
But the NBC website is much quicker and more definitive!

The Americans skated to the Portuguese Love Theme from Love Actually. Did I succeed in reading your mind?
