Has Anyone Been Watching The Olympics?
« on: February 20, 2010, 05:50:30 PM »
By any chance, do any of you follow figure skating?  If so, what did you think of the mens competition.  Do you think the American Evan Lysacek should have won the gold?  Or do you think the Russian skater Yevgeny Plushenko did a better job, since he did a quadruple jump in his program?

I am very much into figure skating and read figure skating forums. I think the concensus is that the new judging system does not reward technical elements enough and allows too much leeway in judging artistic elements.
