Hi Guys/Gals: I know this is a fishing site however I just want to say to my freinds and neighbors to the north that I think you got cheated last night in the Pairs Figure Skating competition. I am in no way an expert on Figure Skating but I do know that the young people that Canada sent as representatives did provide a GOLD MEDAL
performance,the Russian team was good however they did make a few mistakes the Canadian Team was flawless and a pleasure to watch.

The only flaw last night was the judges.

I actualy hate figure skating but did watch the top 4 pairs last night and knew I wasn't been bias by thinking we got ripped off. Man I am not an expert but saw the russian guy make a big mistake man he almost fell down as well as the lady make a small one both were on the landing of some jumps. Now the Canadians were flawless and definatly got riped off. Oh well it's not the first time this happens in a judged sport.

Last thing we needed to see after our medal hopefull in speedskating fell on his face.[:blackeye:]

I am not a big figure skating fan, I prefer to watch the guys with the sticks and pucks. That being said, figure skating has a history of biased judging especially in the olympics.
