I think temperboy's argument is just about the worst I've ever heard.

I think that Shizuka really deserved that gold. IMO it was a beautiful program. Did Fumie deserve a medal (silver or bronze)? I think, she deserved it!!! As much as I like Sasha (I'm starting to really like that girl more and more) and Irina, I think that Fumie should be in second place. The problem is that Fumie isn't loved by judges. They always underscore her.
Shizuka just PMed me to say that she saw this thread and decided that the only fair thing to do was to give her gold medal back to Speedy and return the 100,000,000 yen that she has earned so far on exhibitions, personal appearances and endorsements.
why bring this up now? *color me confused*
Temperboy usually only starts threads with controversial (some might say downright hysterical) re-writes of hirtory of who should have won an event and then sits back to watch everyone scrambling to argue with him.
I guarantee once enough people chime in, he'll bow out of the thread and post no more leaving everyone to squabble amongst themselves!
I've been lured into pointless argument before now....my leson has been learnt!

Shen/Zhou and Zhang/Zhang both had nice pity stories. Shen/
/Zhou the big comeback from the major foot injury he had. Zhang /Zhang with that fall early in the long program-being allowed to take a break and resume, and her good acting to exagerrate the injury as well helping their scores. Sorry if that sounds cynical or even cruel, it is what I saw.
I3. Cohen (after the horrible opening, the best she's ever skated an lp IMO)
I did not realize it was a requirement to only talk about current skating. There are some people that want to talk about skating 19 years ago, let alone only 1.
I don't see the harm in curiosity of others thoughts though.i don't see the point of arguing this a year later,
I rewatched Fumie's program and she did not doubleher loop.
All her jumps here landed cleanly. She deliverd the perfomance of a lifetime, and it is just unfair that she did not get credit for it.
Yet at the Olympics they go there and do the same jumps, both made a similar mistake in the long, and Shizuka is suddenly the one 16 points higher?
I think I was robbed of the gold medal in Italy... so there!
Fumie's last step sequence was a level 2.
