I, too, am a huge figure skating fan and have followed it for years. My two daughters are up and coming figure skaters and were intereviewed on our local news station about their opinion of the whole deal. I'm glad the Canadians ended up with the gold medal that I felt they deserved in the first place.
I know first hand from local competitions that sometimes the judges minds are made up before the skaters even skate. They watch the skaters "warm up" and pretty much have them ranked at that time. If they skate clean, they get the marks. How else could they give the first skater a "1" when they haven't even seen the others skate yet?
I'm sure that judging on that particular level (Olympic) is much, much harder. Anyway, glad to see the Canadians get their gold.
