I don't see how a thumbs down by Michelle has been translated on this thread as her flipping the bird to the judges. (comment not directed at you, but to the others.)
My main point is that Danny as a dad should know that a coach, maybe not Frank Carroll... any coach would remember tell Michelle before the short-'Dont offend the judges, no matter what happens'
If the French Judge starts taking bribes during the skate so be it, we can deal with it later .
