Ok...let me start with a little preamble. I have ALWAYS hated watching figure skating, becasue of judges biases, the fact that I knew nothing about it, the fact that a lot of the athletes anoy me, etc.

 

Well, last night at around 10:30 I turned on Channel 4, and there was the Women's figure skating, the most talked about event. Since I was not tired (another damned insomnia bout), I decided to watch. Well, I just wanted to say that I thought Sarah Hughes put on one of the best performances IN ANY SPORT, EVER, and though I'm no qualified judge I was still amazed. I think the judges did a fantastic judge, though I think Michelle Kwan messed up a lot and her routine didn't seem as complicated as some of the others. You thoughts?

Yup, although I don't consider what they do a sport, they show a lot of dedication and hard work. Sarah won fair and square. Didn't miss any of the seven jumps. And I think Russia is mad again. Go figure.

They are contesting....figures.

 

That's why some "sports" ( or so-called ) are so hard to compete in - a lot of the true champions get cheated or jerked by politics. Sports that are judged by a panel are the hardest to regulate.

Didnt see it; though I wish i did. Terribly exciting with all tha controversy lol!
