The following TWEETS can be seen if you have a Twitter account and are following them:
Katarina Witt (Former German Olympic Gold Medalist) “Shame Gold Medal, Yuna Kim is a real queen”
ESPN Official Website News Article titled “Home Cooking”, “Home-Ice Advantage”
Terra Findlay (Canadian ice dancer) “I’m speechless. Yuna Kim, you are a queen”
It amazes me that anyone bothers to sign petitions on that joke website. Now, people who aren’t even from the U.S. are signing petitions for us to investigate things that aren’t in under U.S. jurisdiction? What did they think that would accomplish?
C’mon.....they only got “home towned.”
It happens.
the russian had a better program than the south korean. my frau was commenting on the commentators last night talking about the south korean performance and couldn’t understand some of the praise. both of us thought the russian did better.
What is really ridiculous is that after the French judge was caught making deals with other judges in Vancouver, the IOC changed the rules....and made the judges’ marks anonymous, thus making it impossible to catch the cheaters! So who knows how high the Russian judge marked the hometown girl yesterday, who was mechanically correct, with the emphasis on mechanical.
I spose that’s what happened to healthcare.org too ;-)
Here is a clue. Skating judging is subjective and basically an opinion of a judge. Plus, you don’t get a vote. Its not a democracy.
Mrs. redangus and I both thought it was close, but that the Russian girl was better. We also both agreed that based on her routine and the home ice advantage she would be hard to beat. We thought the Italian girl should have gotten the silver. Bottom line, much like a dog show, the skater seen as the best coming in seldom loses regardless of the quality of their performance, which makes the results somewhat surprising.
do they really expect someone, Obama?, would try to change the outcome?
lol
Why do people spend so much time and energy on trivial things while ignoring the important things?
and yes, I wanted Kim Yu-Na to win too. lol
"Get a Life!"
On second thought, I have more faith in Olympic judges than 0bama.
