I'm not anywhere near expert enough to do this but after watching You Tube videos and reading the comments on the 1988 Olympics ladies SP, there may have been much more of a judging controversy with favoritism going on then anyone realized.
Would love to have someone do COP judging on the ladies SP and LP and see what would have, could have or should have been.
Interesting to think that there has perhaps always been favoritism going on in figure skating and unless it was sooooo obvious, no one really screamed about it. With COP it seems that it's scored in a more black and white manner, like an actual court case with evidence, which allows more justifiable screaming about bad judging.
Just wondering if Kadavy (SP only), Manley or other ladies were not judged fairly and realistically. Should Witt really have gone down in history as a two time gold medalist?
