Golden Silence

A pair of figure skaters at the Olympics perform a dance routine that involves them thrashing around, slack-jawed.  After they finish, the audience sits in stunned silence, while the reporters try to figure out what to say.  Reporter 1:  You're on.  Say something!  Reporter 2 (covering the mike):  Like what?  That they looked like zombie marionettes?  Reporter 3:  Well, you can't say that...

This may or may not be based on an actual Olympics routine I once saw.  If it is, I didn't search to see who did it, both to protect the guilty and allow me to continue believing that the whole thing was just a fever dream.
