How Appropriate....

Still laughing at the irony of them having Bianchetti take the judge's oath at the Olympic Ceremonies!~

As soon as they announced time for the oaths, my first thought was that they should have a skating judge take the official's oath, and voila!

Too bad they didn't have MRLG take it 4 years ago!
