I didn't see them skate. I did however see a clip of the Russian ice skater bobble out of a jump and I thought that meant they had to assess a penalty of so many tenths of a point for that kinda of thingy.

Considering the Canadians didn't error shouldn't they of scored higher?

Only common sense.

They showed a clip of the pairs last night on NBC skating side by side, there were obviously techinal errors that would have affected ANY OTHER TEAM (and did)...they were overlooked here. My point is, if they are just going to give out placings, why even bother scoring on technical and artistic merit? As my friend discostu says, "It's to show the audience how they are thinking". Well, if that WAS the case, then the JUDGES were thinking that the CANADIANS skated better than the Russians.

So....I guess....they were just "messing" with the audience, huh? Stupid.
