I swear I'm having dejavu. I remember seeing this thread and these comments before. Anyone else having the same feeling?
this is a small world of people who practically live for detecting/rising some rumours, scandals, theories - and this people created this on their own because of criteria of jugding system so it is an inner closed circle which starts before some major event , gets faster during it and closes after usually with some 'bang'...So for me there is no suprise that some of conspiracy theories rose - I'm used to find it 'natural' in this sport. Just bad for skaters from involved nations - their eventual medals will be all questioned after that gig regardless if they will be got fairly or not
lol if you think Canada should have won
Osmond fell on her butt and V/M were crsuhed by D/W both times
losing levels, disaster twizzles and with lift problems as usual
poor Canada only 4 medals so far in Sochi

What are the Russians mad at Canada about? The story is from a French publication and based on a quote from a Russian coach.
lol if you think anyone here is actually saying Canada should have won the team event. A couple of us specifically said Russia could have won it anyway. That doesn't mean some of that scoring wasn't ridiculous. It may not have affected the overall picture in team, but people are right to be concerned about the individual events now, and not just on behalf of Canada.
umm look at how many "new" users are joining in just recently :disapp:
to GS only to bad mouth Russian skaters
Welcome, dress. Post often, post long!
About anonymous judging the U. S. Figure Skating Association has presented a motion to the ISU to abolish it. This will be debated by the ISU council next year. Let's hope for the best.
To all -- cut it out with the Canada bashing, OK? My goodness, even the Korea and Japan bashing has cooled off this year. I have a feeling that this thread won't last long here.

And why are people so surprised that the Canadian press picked up on the story? Given what happened in Salt Lake City, people are understandably sensitive to accusations about mark fixing.
Actually 5 now. We just won another gold. And lol at you if you think that's a bad result so far - we're second in the medal standings.
7 now, gold and silver in moguls thanks to Alexandre Bilodeau and Mikaël Kingsbury!!
Hah, that's gold and silver in both men's and women's moguls! I felt bad for Philippe Gagnon... so close to a sweep! Good effort though from all the Canadians.
Yeah, just like I felt bad for Maxime Dufour-Lapointe...
And Alex Bilodeau made history once again! Canada is delivering so far.

I thought it was pretty funny that it was a Russian in a judged event preventing the Canadian sweep. My mom asked me about the judging scandal and I just shrugged and said, "it could be true but it might not be. The judging is usually dirty so nothing really shocking here. The overall results are fairly expected either way"
You are utterly ridiculous. The only thing Canada would be really upset about if they don't win gold medal in hockey.

Hee, as a Canadian, this sounds perfectly true.
That said, Russia is definitely more focused on FS, and judging by scoring, it was kind of expected that this kind of rumour may start. I'm not sure why Canadians would engineer something like this, especially in regards to D/W winning because they were excellent, as good as V/M are. Maybe because V/M score was unexpectedly close to the third Russian pair instead of close to D/W like per usual?
