The whole thing was rigged. Even the inventor of the step move in the short program said that Virtue and Moir did it better than the Americans (obviously there are other factors, but that was where the Canadians were deducted).
There was an article that the judges had already agreed to prop up the Americans in turn for helping the Russians get gold in the team event. Is it true? With figure skating's history it wouldn't surprise me at all.
Yep, it was in a French paper several days ago. Pretty telling that everything the paper said would happen did. And the judges had the gall to go ahead with it anyways and the IOC turn a blind eye, no matter how obvious and tainted the whole thing is. Exactly why I barely follow the Olympics anymore, it's all about $$$$$ and back door deals. I'm keeping an eye on Sweden & Canada in hockey (only because there's no other freakin' hockey on the tv) and that's about it.
The whole thing is sickening.
