I give the Gold to Gretzkey, well ahead of the Russians. Why?

He raged at the American propaganda machine, only days after the American propaganda machine ensured the Candadians got a Gold Medal in Pairs figure skating(albeit deserved). Thats hard to top even by the commisar acting Russians.

Yes, but apparently in speed skating ANYTHING can happen. It is almost unheard of, evidently, for the favorite to get in front, stay in front, and win without incident.
