Who the fuck cares.
figure skating is a joke anyway. To take seriously a "sport" with opinionated judging is asking for this kinda nonsense. Judges probably got bribed. Good for them.
Modern olympic games are not about fair play, it has to be expected. Just as in many other kinds of competitions, judges have some preferences and act with acorrdance to them. The only one, who always judges without any prejudices - is electronic timing, e.g as it is in skeleton.

That's just because we talk about RUSSIANS there, don't we?
This thread is a joke. First off, none of you here has any idea of figure skating and how judging is done (including me). Second, you just read a post on the media and you believe it is true. Third, figure skating is probably among the hardest sports to perform in the world.
