Hi Chris, I wasn't paying attention during the Nagano Games. What happened with that scandal that was referred to by Scott Hamilton? Thanks!

Wasn't that the ice-dancing judging scandal where the Canadians were similarly shafted? That was was so blatant that ice dancing was told to clean up their act or they were out of the Olympics.

Same thing happened. In ice dancing 4 judges fixed the results for a Russian couple to win. The problem is the Russians made a huge mistake. The 2nd place couple did not. Up until that time, the ice dancing was purely subjective. Now they put some required elements, etc. to prevent it.
