That's inconsistent with other posts you've made - you HAVE been defending Chan's win quite vigorously or else your writing style is quite unclear.
Examples? I have defended Chan as a skater, and I've said that I can understand why Chan won over Ten... but I've never said Ten didn't deserve to win over Chan. The opposite, in fact.
Maybe it's unclear because people seem to think that because I'm Canadian I'll defend any of Chan's wins, or because I acknowledge he's a great skater in spite of his errors I'm suggesting that he should always win. In fact, I'm the opposite. I was outraged when the Germans and Kostner placed higher than others who went clean, as I was when Chan was placed ahead of Ten. But once I looked at the protocols and saw that Ten won the FS handily and given that I agree with the point gap between Chan & Ten from the SP (for which Ten was unable to overcome in the FS), I understood why Chan won. But as an observer taking it all in as a whole, it's hard to dispute that Ten should have won.
