If you'll check the history of the sport you'll see that it's rare to the point of almost never happening for a routine that has already won a medal to be awarded another medal, especially if it's being retreaded in one of the big ones.You're pretty funny. You complain about how figure skating is not a sport, because its subjective, then you give all these lame excuses for the judges' ridiculous scoring. Never before Monday night have I seen figure skaters perform so poorly and win a gold medal. In fact, never before, in any judged event have I seen such a poorly executed performance get awarded first place. The Russian sucked big time and everybody knows it.
Hey the rules are as the rules are. Just because I think they're stupid doesn't mean they shouldn't be followed. With the rules as they are, considering BOTH the short and long programs the Russian's won fare and square. Anybody who doesn't like it just being obsessive.
