Welcome, CocoChanel. Thanks for joining us.
About the fix, the deal was that Russia would get gold in team and pairs, and in exchange USA would get gold in dance. Now, however, the Russians have their two in hand, so they are free to double-cross their erstwhile partners. When I&K win tomorrow, you will see that I am right.
Thanks for the welcome!
I used to follow figure skating more closely [back when Kurt Browning was competing] but ice dance always seems to go by the same formula. Whoever has been skating in first place for most of the year winds up winning the Olympics so in that respect, I can see how the placements are going to be 'set' before the competition even starts.
Artistry is more subjective so it's hard to argue which is better but with technical marks, I would think that the judges would know that those marks are being scrutinized closely after what's happened with judging scandals in the past.
I'd like to see whether anyone on the judging side will come out and refute what Rahkamo and Kokko have said.
Fun times ahead LOL.
