NAMES MEAN LITTLE HERE. I’m NOT A FAN OF ANYONE. I JUST ADVOCATE FAIRNESS IN THIS SPORT. I HAVE SPENT 30 YEARS IN FIGURE. The whole argument is the score manipulation that allowed one to score higher on the merit of one level of one step daniellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742392902704093206.post-50451723991368420672010-02-26T10:28:58.965-08:002010-02-26T10:28:58.965-08:00Xan, I totally agree with you about the gold, but ...Xan, I totally agree with you about the gold, but you missed the point of the article. What I was saying is that the judges' behavior changed as a result of an outside force. They changed how they marked Plushenko. Either they were right before or they are right now. If it's the former, then the Olympics were influenced by an email. That's bad! If it's the latter, they marked Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16773201924652419136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742392902704093206.post-13551472284581593222010-02-26T09:58:21.365-08:002010-02-26T09:58:21.365-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Save Skatingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742392902704093206.post-73090108901906147172010-02-26T08:16:28.731-08:002010-02-26T08:16:28.731-08:00Plushenko lost the gold on arrogance.

If anything, the Plushenko-Lysacek tie on PCS, although everyone agrees that Lysacek is the stronger artistic skater, indicated that the judges were trying to nudge it to Plushenko, who was expected to outcompete Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087069977867729538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1742392902704093206.post-3808209089124986012010-02-26T02:00:10.224-08:002010-02-26T02:00:10.224-08:00Politics rules skating.

We can avoid arguing if Lysacek deserved his medal, but let's take a look at underestimated Johnny Weir and a way overestimated Patrick Chan. I am sure, he wouldn't get his 160 points, if he wasn't a Canadian citizen. How can this be? Chan fell down twice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
