I haven't seen any of the performances since I'm waiting to watch them tonight. How much did Yuna actually lose by? After the short program last night, she was only ahead by like .2 points.

 

[firehawk12]

Man, don't get my hopes up.

 

[Dr.Acula]

I think it's too late.

As a Leafs fan, I know... it's never too late ;_;

 

[Forsete]

Blah.

Go USA. Keep on truckin'..

 

[Parch]

I'll watch the figure skating replay tonight.

If you're only now realizing how much figure skating judging is a joke, you haven't been paying attention for a few decades. There is no salt involved. Figure skating has always been corrupt.

shiiit

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Fuuuck, that would have been an amazing goal.

There was a nearly 6 point difference.

 

[Kadayi]

All that salt

Indeed.

There are a set number of elements that have to be performed and each element is graded on difficulty and quality of completion (posture, landing, etc) Sotnikova won because she went for a much more complicated series of jumps and successfully pulled them off. I'd of thought after the excellent display she put in yesterday it would hardly of come as a surprise that she was going to pull out all the stops. Given she'd effectively been overshadowed by Lipnitskaya during the build up she didn't really have anything to lose.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Holy shit ref!

 

[NH Apache]

Icing?

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

[coolasj19]

Why is this happening? Like... a tie with an empty net? Someone explain...

 

[Kazerei]

I guess I'll tune back into hockey, but I'm still so pissed about Yuna getting robbed

 

[GloomyHitsuji]

Holy Shit, tied game!!

 

[agrajag]

So much salt, Sotnikova's program was nothing short of breathtaking, you fools.

 

[Oersted]

Eh. Italia vs South Korea at FIFA WC2002 (paid referee, he was even arrested for smuggling kilos of heroine later) in South Korea+Japan.

Italy's Cammarelle (super heavy-weight boxing) got robbed of a clear-cut Gold in London in favor of (surprise surprise!) british boxer Joshua.

Bulgarian Jordan Jovtchev (rings) shockingly (not really) robbed of gold at Athens 2004 in favour of homeboy Tampakos.

But yeah, Kim's on par with the former two, Kostner's is not as scandalous but still absolutely fucked-up.

Yeah. In hindsight, Asadas points already forshadowed the robbery.

So much salt, Sotnikova's program was nothing short of breathtaking, you fools.

Noone is questioning she was great. But she wasn't flawless. And got to many points.

 

[Madness]

What's with all the "eat shit Canada", "fuck Canada" posts in this and the other thread? It's one thing to be proud of your fellow countrymen and athletes, even being smug and cracking jokes is fine, but some people have genuine hate for other countries. Like that one guy who said some using vulgar in Polish a while back etc.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Why is this happening? Like... a tie with an empty net? Someone explain...

Exactly.

What's with all the "eat shit Canada", "fuck Canada" posts in this and the other thread?

Jealousy.

In hockey you are allowed 6 players on the ice so you can play with or without goalie and take the risk

 

[BravestOrphan]

oh god the roller-coaster of emotions

But I wanted Yuna to win. Do you understand?

Hah.

Anyway, I posted the link to the score breakdown earlier but nobody cared. Sotnikova's base score started 4 points higher than Yuna's.

 

[lazybones18]

US Women so unclutch

 

[LNBL]

2-2 holy shit, Canada!

 

[Ninjimbo]

There was a nearly 6 point difference.

Damn, that's a lot. I guess I'll see for myself tonight. Typically, it's Yuna doing the outclassing so it's weird to see her get beat by that much.

Hockey is gaining a new fan.
