I'm with you. I think this is going to be swept under the rug, and the corruption will go on in the skating world.

The Russian pair should "defect" to America and swap their gold medal with the American pair's silver. I think that would throw a fix/wrench into the mix.

"I'm with you. I think this is going to be swept under the rug, and the corruption will go on in the skating world." OK, this may be old news, but I kinda thought Kerrigan got screwed in '94 as well. Baiul made some visible errors while Kerrigan was flawless, yet Baiul won. There has to be a better way to determine winners. I'm thinking the judges should start all skaters with a 6 and then demonstrate percisely where the deductions come in. (Of course, if it is like gymnastics, some athletes start with a higher degree of difficulty.)
