Big upset of the other Russian beating Kim Yuan, the 2010 Gold medalist. Good to see the veteran Kostner from Italy getting a medal. She had a horrible last Olympics.
Putin was holding the Judges hostage in retaliation for loosing in hockey.
Kim was ROBBED! No way Russian judges were going to let the best figure skater in the world win again, not as long as they did the scoring. The Russian was good, but Kim was flawless and was robbed. Things like this happen in every Olympics.
The Russian’s performance was uninspired,but netted a huge score,naturally. This is the first time since 1936 that no U.S. Men or women received medals in figure skating. We won no medals in speed skating either. Perhaps we should forget skating and concentrate on the snowboarding events.
More spoilers;
Women’s hockey in OT;
Canada- Gold
USA- Silver
Switzerland - Bronze
I personally think Davis and White are the true fairy tale story from the winter Olympics this year. First ever gold for the USA in their Category with the highest score ever recorded despite a deduction. I don’t know the sport but it was a spectacular performance.
Everybody knew they had won before the scores were even announced.

Funny how the US womens hockey team was winning all the way up to the point where the announcer announced a bet of a case of beer between oblunder and the Canadian PM then it went all downhill from there.
