Another good one is "mat in Korean". Mat (Мат) is curse words (both in plural and singular). "Solid mat" means "heavy curses". Poor girl.

Thanks for the clarification. "OL: A mat in Korean? AS: Well, not only in Korean. Also in English. The main thing is that it was a solid mat. I did not answer them. Let them decide for themselves. It's clear that they will stand behind their mountain. Especially that Yuna Kim for them ... as president. (Laughs) "

Good attitude for cyber bullying.

Michelle did not say she thought Sotnikova should have won. She said she thought Sotnikova won "fair and square" according to the rules in place. She said she prefers Yuna's skating because she is both technical and artistic. This is similar to what Sandra Bezic said, however you misconstrued that as well. Michelle would not come out and say Yuna should have won, no because it would make the sport look bad, and she has a responsibility as one of its most public faces. It would hurt her legacy and the sport's image to openly dispute the result of an Olympic games. Again, acquiescing to a bad situation is not the same thing as agreeing with what happened. You clearly 1. don't know anything about the sport, 2. will stop at nothing in your smarmy insincere arguments. Clearly logic isn't a factor in your arguments here.

The first bolded part is what actually happened.

The second bolded part is your theory.

How can we congratulate a false winner? I agree that we shouldn't throw personal attacks at her (criticisms yes, attacks no) but if you congratulate a false winner that won unfairly, you end up turning a blind eye and supporting to a system that is not working. This will only delay the desperately needed changes in figure skating. Only when people start asking questions, raise awareness and criticize what went WRONG, can we have a clean, FAIR sport. Historically, THIS IS HOW CHANGES ARE MADE. Please don't side with corruption. That is not good for anyone, not for the sport, not for Sotnikova.
