As I have posted in some of the football related threads, refs have prefs.
Recall the scandal regarding the French (IIRC) judge at the Olympics several years ago.
“As I have posted in some of the football related threads, refs have prefs”.
After Russian was taken out of the Hockey medal contention, this was to be expected. The two biggest events of the Winter Olympics are figure skating and hockey. Now Russian has Gold in one of them. And let’s not forget they said the other day they were cheated out of the win against the Americans when that goal was not allowed. They’re still raising hell about it.
Part of the reason I don’t care that much for the Winter Olympics anymore.
Too many events are based on judging. I just want events where the results are objective, who is the fastest or whatever, without dealing with “style points.”
