Firecracker Dog Lover Posts: 3175	fatchance - 2014-02-20 10:46 AM She was ROBBED! I agree, she was completely robbed. Even the commentators were shocked that the Russian won by such a large margin. Nice skating to watch though. Edited by brlraceaddict 2014-02-20 3:18 PM

Extreme Veteran Posts: 443 Location: Southern IL somewhere between KY and MO	I love watching the Winter Olympics it's a bitter sweet thing for me as my daddy was President of the 1980 Lake Placid Olympic Organizing Committee. I wonder what he would think of all the new winter sports that they didn't have back then. 60 Min Sports on Showtime did a special on the Adirondack Boys and they were talking about the day dad refused to go to the hockey game and have to sit with the Vice President. I was laughing because the rest of the story was....Mom and Dad and me were in the kitchen at home the phone rang I answered it Dad said tell them I am not going I'm going to the bobrun. They said put your mom on the phone so I did. Mom hung up and turn to my dad and said " Bernie you are President of the Olympic Comittee you are going." and he went to the hockey game that became the Miracle on Ice. My Dad passed away in 1985 to lung cancer but he will always be in my heart as he also was a lover of horses and encourged me to do what ever I put my mind to.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1182 Location: Do I hear Banjos?	You know...I enjoy the Olympics...I used to ice skate many years ago and have always enjoyed seeing the amazing things they can do...especially the Ice Dancing as they are so synchronized and intricate in their maneuvers. But.... I have about decided that any sport that does not have an objective way of determining the winner (Timed event, distance measured...etc)...shouldn't be in the Olympics. Subjective/anonymous judging is so darn frustrating and so easily biased/manipulated. Last nights figure skating is a great example. How could a skater that took a bad fall place so far above one with a clean program? But that's what happened, and it happens every Olympics. I tend to watch the performances, and change the channel for the scores.
