Now here's a shocker! Russia may pull out of the closing cremonies.
This wouldn't have anything to do with their abysmal medal count, would it?
Irina Slutskya didn't make her triple triple, and she bobbled the landing on another triple. Her moves were mechanical, and she didn't skate to her strength. She still performed well enough to beat Michelle Kwan, who fell during her short program. Sarah Hughes skated a nearly flawles program, and deserved the gold.
Give it up, Victor, this isn't basketball, and you can't put more seconds back on the clock.
A judge said she was manipulated. The IOC discounted her, which resulted in a tie. You kids kept their gold, which, based purely on performance, they didn't deserve.
