Hi Michel,

Do you think, this would be repeated? Yesterday I just accidentally turned my TV on to see the final ceremony of awarding. I missed the performance! :(((

>>Seemed to me they were robbed, too.
>>A slightly easier program skated perfectly, or a harder program skated not well at all ..... it didn't seem to matter. What seemed to matter was that the Russians win the Gold to continue an almost 40 year tradition... No?
>
>This will probably the top topic in the judges meeting today. And, it seems there will be an inquire on that as well for the upcoming months.
>
>First of all, usually, the judges see things that we don't see. They are professionals and can detect every little mistake. This time, some of them didn't see what the crowd and the TV viewers saw. It was clear for non judges to see the 3 mistakes of the other team and the perfect run of the Canadians. It's just unbelievable to see such a decision.
>
>Another point is that the French judge, who is pointed to have made the difference, has an history. They seem to complain since a while to the World Skating Federation because of this and that. They took that opportunity to show their disappointment. It is really not the occasion to do that.
>
>One of the commentator on the French CBC Network, is a French person. He also pointed at her. So, that tells it all.
>
>I also saw the Canadian judge who couldn't believe as well the final result when he saw the cumulative. That was live on TV. You probably saw it as well. This was showing it all.
>
>And, among other points I saw, yes, the Canadian judge give them first place, but the Russian judge gave them second.
>
>The crowd also boooooooooooooooooooooo the results. I never saw that before.
>
>The crowd also showed again their feelings during the medal ceremony. That is also something new.
