>They are still discussing it on national news this am. The consensus is that they should have won the gold.
>Tracy

I also saw (part of) the interview on NBC Today Show with Sale/Pelletier and they were most gracious about the whole thing.
I've gotta believe that with so many media folk pushing the issue, and virtually all on the same side, that they (Sale/Pelletier) are happy campers.

As they said in the interview, thay came hoping to skate their best performance ever and they were most pleased with themselves for accomplishing exactly that. They said they were happy about the portion THEY CONTROL and are powerless anyway to do anything about stuff out of their own control.

>>As commented on national TV, it's probably the worst decision ever made on figure skating. I never seen such a ridiculous decision.

>>People are crying here and there across the country. The national TV will continue to talk about it for weeks. To us, they are the champions. They're just no question about it. Especially when the pair who won the gold made 3 mistakes in their run compare to a perfect run by the Canadian team who ended up with the silver in result of this unbelievable decision.

>>To us, Sale and Pelletier are true champions. Congratulations!
