Conspiracy theory...

Ptichka · Sep 14, 2005

It has taken me three and a half years, but I have finally figured out the SLC scaking scandal(s). It was really AntonGate!!! Why? Well, there were two skating scandals at SLC. One awarded the gold to Anton Sikhuralidze; the other, in speed skating, awarded it to Apolo Anton Ohno. Coincidence? I think not...

LOL!

I'd never thought of that before.

Naahhh....don't blame the athletes. They were the innocent parties in all of this. Some people blame Anton and Elena for the pairs scandal, and that is absolutely wrong. They had nothing to do with the whole mess. Apolo Ohno just skated his heart out around the oval - he didn't rig the time or in any way finagle things so that he would win a gold medal.

Let's leave the athletes out of it.

I think Ptichka was being sarcastic.

I think Ptichka was just joking around. I don't think she was making a serious accusation of either of the athletes. Just some fun pre-season sillyness

woops looks like lulu beat me to it ... looks like i shouldn't have gone to the washroom before i posted

Ptichka · Sep 14, 2005

Absolutely! I just thought AntonGate sounded pretty funny. It's more of a joke on all of the conspiracy theories around the scandal(s).

Ptichka,
I thought it was funny. Maybe only the "coolest" of us fans would get it!

After all, both sports take place in ice rinks.

Give me a break, guys. I'm one of the "coolest" skating fans out there. Sure, I got Ptichka's little joke, and, sure it was amusing to an extent. I just don't like to see any reference - even in jest - that Elena and Anton could in any way be responsible for the fiasco at Salt Lake. OK, enough preaching from my end.

Enjoy your joke! :biggrin:

I don't find it funny. Elena and Anton have been maligned enough in this part of the world. They don't need this and they don't deserve jokes at their expense either.
