I hate to be dramatic but...after this year's Games, I don't know how much longer I'll be interested. Russia greased their way to gold. I know Kim is so exhausted at this point she doesn't give a shit, but that whole experience made me feel dirty. And Sotnikova's not even going to be at Worlds! She's not retiring, why isn't she going to be at Worlds? Oh right--because her Federation doesn't want her to lose in front of a non-Russian panel. Then the IOC released "quotes" by Kim praising Sotnikova, saying she deserved to win and she was the better skater--and it turned out these were MADE UP quotes, that Kim hadn't given this interview. Gross, gross, gross. I'm used to disagreeing with the results (I def wanted Michelle to win but at least Tara skated her ass off and made no errors, ditto Sarah Hughes). I'm not used to feeling quite this disgusted with the sport.

I'm more grossed out by the Korean fanbase's response to the whole ordeal. Nothing classier than brutally attacking a 17 year old girl who had nothing to do with the rigging.

SA

That is also appalling. Surely she is a victim as well, since there will always be questions about her victory. In fact the one thing I liked about this debacle was her upending of the Russian federation's plans to shaft her--it is obvious Yulia was the Chosen One since Adelina didn't even get to skate in the team event. I imagine it gave her a lot of pride to give the Russian fed the middle finger the way she did.

Both are disgusting. I just don't know if I can even be bothered to invest myself in a sport where the manipulation is that obvious. I thought we'd left that behind after the judging scandal of Salt Lake City. Shit like this just curdles interest in the sport.
