While I am delighted that Jason is now an Olympic medallist, it makes me absolutely sick to think that Abbott has a bronze medal for that worthless, pathetic load of rubbish he produced in the SP of the team event. And that disgusting crass "it was just a warmup" comment after.
And now I dislike you. Thanks. Let's just boot out all the little countries and never give them a chance to do anything on the big stage. Let's just make another event for the powerhouses to win more medals and shut out the little countries. Screw that. You will kick Australia out of the Olympics over my cold dead body. We were the alternate for the team event and I'm fricking proud of that. We nearly made the goddamn team event. And now you're saying we don't deserve that moment, that Great Britain don't deserve that moment, because they're not "high-quality" enough for you. I suppose you're one of these snobs who think that Australia and all the little countries should be kicked out of the main event so that Japan can send five men.
Because I simply do not believe that "cheating" on the scale which you lot are having meltdowns over ever occurred. At the end of the day, the right girl won. That is what I believe. That is not what you believe. Fine. But screaming and throwing temper tantrums and expressing your desire to tear that medal right out of Adelina's hands and give it to Yuna - that is graceless, that is classless, that is disgusting. Adelina is not some pathetic nobody. She is a four-time Russian National Champion.
Today I talked about the team event with a friend of mine, who knows little of figure skating but was once a very high-level gymnast. Before she asked me my opinion on the ladies, she gave hers. And it was simply this:
"The Russian girl deserved to win. The Korean girl was so lovely, and flowed so well, but the Russian girl was better."
Karne I don't know why you were so mean to me in my thread. I was only expressing my disappointment in the judging as a matter of my opinion, and how it has made me lose a lot of interest in the sport.
