The credibility of figure skating : Is it a sport or a popularity contest with sponsors ?
I begin to lost interest with the sport with all of theses controversy.
It begins with Takahiko Kozuka who has earn his place to Sochi with his 3rd place and the federation take Daisuke Takahashi instead of him who finish 5th place.
Now, Mirai Nagasu who has also earn her place to Sochi fair and square with her 3rd place at nationals and shows a great season was replace by Ashley Wagner.
And, there is some rumor about Evgeni Plushenko to get the spot for Sochi even if he was clearly defeat by Maxim Kovtun all season.
All, of theses choice doesn't make sense!!
