Using facial expressions at the end of a skate to determine who won...what sound logic.Look at Yuna's face after Sochi free skate. Very disappointed. Now look at Adelina's. See? We don't even need scores to tell us who won.

He should hold the image of the sport with high enough regard that he wouldn't sit with the President of a hosting nation.
Uh no, that is just vacuous conjecture you made up. Putting it in capital letters doesn't make it mean anything. Again, the head of the ISU sitting next to a person with political investment in the outcome of the competition makes the competition look bad. Putin has every right to attend, and in a way the idea of political figures bringing attention to the sport is a good thing. But sitting next to Ottavio is disastrous. It is as straightforward as 2+2=4.

All heads of state attending a sporting event sits next to the officials of that sport, like next to Blatter or Platini in football for example.
Not only heads od state but presidents or owners of their club, when it comes to Champions league or Europa league. It's quite normal.
Football is not the same thing because it is not an individual sport. There will always be two teams each representing one nation in a World Cup game, not one competitor for each nation. Again, this is the Olympics, this is figure skating, and this is Putin. It is not the same as every other sport.All heads of state attending a sporting event sits next to the officials of that sport, like next to Blatter or Platini in football for example.

Check the bottom of Mr. Cinquanta's waste basket.
^ I deleted my comment because I didn't want to seem like I was dismissing your question. I, too, would be curious to know exactly what the final version of the protest said, whether Mr. Cinquanta pays any attention to it or not.
I hope Yuna is better off and enjoying her life.Hey, we even have the official site for this
Not like Yuna herself, fans will never let it go

True, and this is also normal for sports officials to receive criticism for making friends with politicians who have discredited themselves in one or another way.
[Which causes several pages long discussion: has Putin discredited himself or not? ]

If the question is a head of state sitting next to the officials, I fail to see the difference between an individual or team sport.
