BTW...was on the Fed Task force for 2002 Olympics and got tickets to watch the Canadian women vs the Russians the day after the skating controversy. Now THAT was a spanking...something like 60 shots on gaol to 7...or some insane number like that.
The figure-skating judging seems O.K. this year; although I have to agree with Plushenko — men should have to do a quad to win gold (or, at least, athleticism should count for more than artistry in the Olympics).
