Now the true feelings are coming out..

[codebreaker]

Ungrateful whining ping..

What do you mean? They already said that if they (the Russians) had been performing the same routine for three years they wouldn't have made a mistake either...

The Russian pair was better -- more fluid, natural.

I noticed it RIGHT AWAY, they felt EXTREMELY uncomfortable on the podium with the Canadians. The female russian kept forcing a smile. She looked very upset that she had to share the gold. If you have a chance to watch a re-run of the awards, watch her face and smile. It was plain to see how disgusted she was over the decision to share the gold. Jamie was constantly TRYING to hold hands with her and she kept avoiding Jamie's hand.

Jamie Sale and David Pelletier are good skaters and good guys.
But then, why don't we have three gold medals? (at the Olympics)

They are right you know..they should give theirs back!

But then, why don't we have three gold medals?

Could we please have four, so I might have one? My address is....

[mewzilla]

They were coming out the night that this happened. The russians were always a pair of poor sports. And they must not have any pride since they accepted a gold medal that was stolen/bought for them.

The Russian pairs skaters have a right to whine. The Canadian team cried their way to gold. The Russians beat them on technical and artistic merit. Now the French judge says she was pressured by the Canadians.

Can I file a protest? I am extraordinarily perturbed that not one freeper captured a screen shot of NBC showing skater Alexei Yagudin dropping his drawers. ;)

someone should say ... "Ok then, the americans skated better than you, so they will get the gold and you get the silver."

[rbmillerjr]

I noticed that she got quiet but her facial expressions said something else...it's no coincidence she speaks sparse English (most elites and world class athletes speak fairly fluent English) The fact that she doesnt may say something about her and her family's old style communist beliefs (anti-West etc)

Well, she is right in her cynical remark there should be only 1 gold and she should have a silver, which they truely earned. We Americans and Canadians were gracious in Utah. But when she turns pro, she should be roundly taught a lesson and booed. Remember that face.

and here I was wondering why they didn't show up for the closing ceremonies ;-)
