The Canadian had a very easy program to skate.....although I certainly couldn't do it.......BUT, I think they are crybabies!
What a presendence this sets for others who don't win as big as they think they should!

[mewzilla]

You approve of cheating?

The Canadian had a very easy program to skate

The exact same thing was said about the programing the winning male RUSSIAN skater received gold for last night.

Uh, the French judge ADMITTED she cheated.

You think this ought to just be ignored?

I disagree...why don't you train for a sport your whole life, give the best performance, and have your gold medal taken away from you because of a vote trade by the judges.

I think Sale and Pelletier have acted with nothing but class throughout this whole ordeal...especially given these circumstances.

they also had at least 2-errors in their "more difficult" program...

I think the Canadiens are crybabies...

So by your logic the fact that several nations acted in a manner that goes against 'fair play' should carry no consequences?

[veronica]

The French judge was dirty. Why should the Canadian skaters be denied their win?

I think the Russians should have their gold medal taken away and they should get second place, but the IOC does not have the stones for that I guess.

What does losing have to do with being cheated?

Are you saying that you wouldn't throw a fit if you knew that you'd been cheated out of something that yu'd traned your whole lfe for?

Get real. They are not crying. They are merely standing up for what is theirs. I agree with the Canadians 100%. In fact, the Russians should have the Bronze, at best.

presendence

Precedence? Presidents? Press idents?

You're probably the only one along with the Russians who feel this way. And what should the precedent be? The precedent should be that if you attempt to corrupt the judging there will be a price to be paid. Sounds like a good precedent to me.

Read the news once in awile. You may then be aware of the "FACTS". This had nothing to do with the Canadien pair thinking they didn't get what they deserved. The French judge admitted to judging unfairly and was conseqentially suspended.

[OldFriend]

So you are arguing the word, pressure, and prefer to ignore the admission of cheating by the French judge????

[Howlin]

What a presendence this sets for others who don't win as big as they think they should!

The French judge ADMITTED that the French Skaing organization put pressure on her to vote for the Russians.

Do you think the French Skating assocaition just did that for the hell of it?

The judge cheated. IMO, the Russians should have had their medal taken away.
