In between watching Evgeni Plushenko get injured and Russia get Oshie'd and ice dancers twizzle about, Russian women are partaking in an age-old custom: flirting. And according to local women, after looking at what the international scene has to offer, they're saying Russian men don't deserve gold, silver or bronze.

Anya liked Italian men but couldn't figure out why. Olga thought Americans were "cool." Irina used to date a British man and thought he was "great like Hugh Grant but a little more boring." Anna said the Dutch were tall. But is that a good thing? "Maybe, but only if his teeth are correct," she added. "Russian men smoke too much cigarettes and they drink too much," said Katarina, a bank worker whose father gave her an Olympic figure skating ticket as a birthday present. "They smoke a lot of cigarettes. They do not like to talk to women very much. It is more of an old-fashioned attitude."
