Please post here if you think the results of the Ladies competition at 2014 Sochi games should be investigated for judging corruption.
Anyway, it is clear that a question should be asked: Why did Yuna receive the crucial L3 for footwork, out of everyone else? That is the ONLY technical call that is needed to change the results.
:agree:Let it go.
Russia was slated to win gold, Kim already has a gold. And it's not like Sotnikova didn't skate an excellent performance. Personally I thought Kostner deserved the win, but fully expected Sotnikova to get it after her skate.
This farce of a win was a crowning glory to all the atrociously outrageous pro-Russian scoring that has gone all this whole competition.
That's a really, REALLY big PCS tick up.
Didn't Sotnikova score 18 pts higher for today's performance than in Euros about a month ago...That's quite an "impressive" improvement.
Yes. Russian scums. First they divide korea and steal gold medal from south korea.
This will go down as the blackest day in the history of figure skating, far surpassing 2002.
The judging $$$$ in these olympics was a farce, climaxing with the rigged result of the ladies event.
Probably because they all received a nice paycheck -- or a villa -- from the Russians.
Ven, you've now started at least 3 different threads, all complaining about the judging. Yuna won the component mark. If she did 7 triples, as Adelina did, she would have won. 6 is not greater than 7. STOP COMPLAINING (and starting new threads).
which makes already disgusted FS fans completely give up and leave the sport.
Scoring is the least of it.
Billions gone where during the construction
Undocumented disposal of hazardous/construction waste
Environmental damage to Sochi area
Unpaid foreign workers deported before being paid
Shoddy construction
Unfinished hotel rooms
Yellow water
LGBT forced back into the closet
Pussy Riot attacked by their own fellow Russians (who were hired as protection for the Games)
All protest relegated to areas miles away from the foreign press in Sochi
Audiences who have now given vivid new meanings to the words/phrases "partisan" and "unsportsman-like behavior"
Unfair scoring is the least of it.
The stacking of the judging/tech panel with a Russian tech controller, the wife of the Russian skating federation, a Ukrainian judge who was formerly involved in a cheating scandal, and other East European countries who are under the strong influence of Russia is quite telling.
Such a bittersweet day for me--happy for the performances of Yuna, Carolina and Mao, but so disappointed and disgusted with the judging.
