They should just have let the judgment stand. When they put up judgments that should be final.:rolleyes:

Bow now Mr. Kirath...... Foolish mortal.

Whether it\'s paid for or not gosh darnit.

Little Norway already got 4 golds so far :)

I\'m no Canadian, but it\'s a good day when justice is served. These people work hard to get were they are in the Olympics. It\'s a shame to see someone be deprived of glory when they’ve EARNED it not BOUGHT it.

I agree, but the glory of winning a medal is standing on the podium with your anthem playing gloriously and triumphantly for the whole world to hear. I assume they aren\'t getting that. But I\'m glad they so quickly got medals.

well I wonder if tempers are on hot for this little screw up.:confused:
-
I am very happy, yes, thankyou.
I feel really sorry for anyone involved in a sport where the entire marking system is mostly subjective. Yeah, the judges are supposed to deduct and add certain amounts for certain missing elements, but it seems like I\'ve seen 5.9 given to crappy falling/removing stuff skates, and 5.1 given to flawless ones. They\'re really going to have to clean house now, heh heh heh. :)
I\'m surprised it happened so quick, but really, it wasn\'t unexpected, they had the whole world in an uproar. Fixing competitions at this level cannot be tolerated!
-
I heard they were talking about implementing computers into the judging and hopefully that will make it more fair. Either that or they need like 50 countries judging, not just 9. Pretty hard to sway that many people to fix an event.
-
Did u ever see Attack of the Killer Tomatos ?? Your tomato reminds about that movie :(
-
Well, I\'m glad they got the gold medal, though they won\'t get a podium or anything like that. What\'s sad is that a lot of *****ing had to go on before the couple got it. What\'s even worse is that it wasn\'t the couple who were complaining. It was Canada officials who were whining and moaning about the couple not getting gold, not the couple themselves. Sale and Pelltier were obviously dissapointed, but they didn\'t complain outright about not getting gold. Also, the Russians keep there\'s, so it\'s an everybody wins issue now.
I also heard about the computer judging system, and I personally think it\'s a good idea. Leaving it up to only 9 countries to decide is pretty weak.
See Yuz.

Plus you can never trust those damn Japanese judges. *glares across the world at Japan*

Sale and Pelltier were not complaining because they didn\'t have to. The whole world was complaining for them. If no one was backing them I\'m sure you would see some ice dancing cat fights.
-
Haha, yeah, you\'re right. I too thought they got rigged, but then I sat down for a couple seconds, and realized I was getting mad about *shutters* FIGURE SKATING.
See Yuz.
-
Besides, if you were them, you wouldn\'t complain about the judges in a sport where judges can make subjective and arbitrary decisions about your future skates. They knew that they had enough support that they could sit back and not criticize the sport, while the situation was dealt with.
-
You are loosing against us right now. 5-1 :yawn:
-
My gf is a figure skater. She will be happy to hear of this! We were at the bar when it happened & it was on TV there. the whole place went apesh!t ...
BTW, who do you think had the gayest outfit?
I think it was that russkie with the bad hair. Or the American with the purple Sheer & velvet shirt. (oh yeah, that was really his wife!)
(damn I hope I get better soon, I\'m forced to stay in & watch figure skating with my woman!)

Agreed.
Oh yes, Canada will own the olympics. Why? Simply because we have four seasons of winter.
-
And because you got your asses handed to you in hockey today by *laugh* Sweeden
-
Oh don\'t worry about that. We let them. Eh.
-
Sure. You guys won\'t get far playing like that. Team USA on the other hand, will win it all if they have the common sense to play Richter (great big game goalie) in the net.
-
We\'re still gonna whale on your arse. Eh.
-
I think Mexico has it in the bag.

Here, here! Killaz, I love toronto! It\'s an hour drive from Buffalo!
AND... The french do suck. Goddamn pantywaists. One thing Howard Stern always points out about them is that during the German Occupation of WWII, their Gross National Product tripled.
Losers! The Americans & BRits & Aussies & canadians all saved their arses, and they are still rude to us. F*CK FRANCE! :mad:

From the looks of that last game, nothing\'s wrong with them at all. It\'s just that from all I read, Canada was heavily favored to win gold, then they go out and get wrecked in their first game.
