Wagner's total of 193.20 was 7.37 points behind that of Lipnitskaia, the
Russian sweetheart who won the hearts of the host nation with a pair of
performances that helped win gold in the team competition. That was
despite Lipnitskaia's falling heavily on both nights and being visibly
dismayed at her performance once she left the rink after her free skate.
So the Russian won even after falling twice? She should have not even been close to the podium especially after Wagner didn't fall even once. I'm sure Putin had the families of the judges in the Russian sphere of influence put up in a special villa full of luxuries. If the judges scored it the "wrong way" they would have been cleaning blood off of the marble floors. According to this some of the judges were crooked as well.
Two of their replacements were Ukrainian Yuri Balkov, who was kicked out
of judging for a year after being tape-recorded by a Canadian judge
trying to fix the Nagano ice dancing competition, and Alla Shekhovtseva,
a Russian judge who is married to Russian federation general director
Valentin Pissev. The two other new long program judges were from Estonia
and France, which was the country that conspired with Russia to try to
fix the pairs and ice dancing competition at the 2002 Olympic Games in
Salt Lake City.
Why doesn't a judge that tried to fix the Nagano ice dancing still able to judge in the Olympics? Also one of them is married to the head of Russian skating? That is such a rig job it isn't even funny. Forget this crooked-assed Olympics.
