I watched last night and agree that the Lithuanians were robbed. There performance to my untrained eye was the best of the night.

I find it incredible that the judges did this after what happened in Salt Lake but the IOC and The Figure Skating Union are smaller versions of the United Nations in all ways.

Its a shame because I have become really turned off by subjective sports.

Auntie Fud is a big skating fan so we watched this last night.

What I thought was interesting was that the commentators now candidly discuss the effects of possible judging deals in every event. There were also table showing how various cliques of judges may have connived.

I get the feeling that a lot of topics that used to be restricted to off-mike are now acceptable.

But these are the events which get TV viewers. Downhill skiing, which I like, didn't do so well. Wonder if there is any way possible to objectively score figure skating. Haven't been following this long. 10 years ago, were there controversies such as we saw in Salt Lake City and now in Japan?
