Slutskaya appeared shocked when the gold medal went to America's Sarah Hughes on Thursday night.

Well, now...could it be because Sarah Hughes skated perfectly and Irina didn't?? [/sarcasm off]

Making such a protest really makes the Russians seem petty.

Just what the heck are the Russians protesting all about anyway? "North American conspiracy." Blah. I'm convinced its an inferiority complex from doing so poorly this olympics.

Ice Dancing: Clear evidence of cheating and collusion, gave the superior Canadian team a co-gold medal.

Ice skating: The guy who got the silver was lucky. The American should have got it. Well, "paying dues" has some stature in that world. And what about Sarah Hughes? She clearly and by far was the best skater. The scandal is that the Russian's marks for technical were so high. That was ridiculous. Actually Sahsa Cohen may have a gripe against the Russian and Kwan.

Cross-country: the lady's test came positive. I do believe that they should have said so earlier so they could have replaced her. But what would this be, a Nowegian plot?
