I was quite upset about that. Lysacek may have had more flair, but technically Plushenko surpassed him. The judging is really messed up. Yahoo said it first and said it true: figure skating died yesterday.Ping wrote:I can't believe that American guy won the figure skating contest last night.

Har Har. I'm not upset completely because of Russia. I'm upset because the judgudicial system allowed an easier skate to do better than a harder one because of artistism (which is an opinion). The opinion thing worries me also because the judging panel is American and Canadian.GangsterJawa wrote:*coughgetoveritRussialostcough* Wait, what?Grev wrote:I was quite upset about that.

I see your point with the judging... another reason I dislike sports with a judging panel.Grev wrote:Har Har. I'm not upset completely because of Russia.

Plushenko wasn't great. But I think the Japanese fellow in bronze and plushenko shouldve done better than Lysacek because they had technically challenging dances, as opposed to Lysacek, who didn't do a few spins because he can't.
The entire panel is Americans and Canadians? Well, that explains alot.Grev wrote: Har Har. I'm not upset completely because of Russia.

Everyone expected Shain (?) Davis to win the 1500m ice-skating, but instead, a 'simple dutch boy' named Tuiterd conquered the throne! 
Go cheeses! It's "Shani". And yes, that was an unexpected win. I also heard that sonce one Dutch athlete got the gold, the entire nation's elictricity bill gets redduced. Do I have the facts straight?MandeRek wrote:2nd gold medal for the Netherlands!

This is the kind of thing that has turned me off on sports, btw.Dohnutt wrote:Brodeur was just having an off game, that's all.
Nonetheless, I'm pretty sure Babcock is unhappy with how he's been playing thusfar, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Luongo in net next game.Dohnutt wrote:Brodeur was just having an off game, that's all.
