[QUOTE="VictoriaLovelWilliams, post: 2102464, member: 351988"] I don't think Canada is cheating at all. I remember during the Beijing Olympics when some "questionable" results came out in favor of China, but the Chinese are not the ones who produced those results. They say that sometimes judges subconsciously let the energy from the crowds affect their scores a little. Naturally, people are thinking about it this year! A lot of people seem to think scores for the bronze medal figure skater from Canada were higher than deserved. Were they? It's difficult to say. Her performance was NOT its best; that is true, but was it bad enough or was the competition good enough that the scores are questionable? Obviously, no one has an answer, but there is ALWAYS controversy!! Personally, I think the judges who DQed South Korea yesterday were wrong. That just looked fishy to me and I don't agree with the call. I didn't see tonight's events, so I can't comment, but I hope no one blames CANADA for these. Bad calls are the faults of the judges, not the host nation! (and once again, I'm not saying that it was necessarily a bad call) [/QUOTE]
