Reminds me of the Seoul Korea Summer Olympics where an American boxer clearly defeated a Korean boxer but the judges threw the fight to the Korean. Many years later investigations turned up the evidence that the judges fixed the results.

I have been thoroughly disgusted for a long time with how anything to do with how ice skating is judged with it ordinals and other arbitrary garbage judging. Until these governing bodies implement a judges challenge of other judges scoring before posting the scores, the the sport will always be wide open for corruption. And any judge who violates the oath they took at the beginning of the Olympics should be banned from judging ever again any where.

>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.
