they make it look so easy

I just finished watching the short programs of the ice dancing competition and they do make it look easy or maybe a better word is smooth.  It's hard to imagine the hours and hours of practice that have brought all of the competitors to the Olympics.  That 10,000 hours of practice people talk about have probably been passed long ago.  I enjoyed them all but the American couple, now in the lead, I think, who skated to music from "My Fair Lady" was just spectacular.  They "could have danced all noght."
