Ok, nobody else is bringing it up.......
I didn't want to be the one, since everyone knows France is not my favorite country......
For those not paying attention: The gold in pairs figure skating went to the Russian team, the silver to the Canadian team. The announcers, the crowd and damn near everyone with a brain felt the Canadian team clearly won (the Russians made several mistakes, the Canadians skated a perfect routine). NBC did an online poll. Almost 215,000 people responded...... 96% thought the Canadians won.
Anyway, the next day, the French judge said that the Russian judge coerced her vote, telling her that if she didn't vote for the Russians, he'd vote against the French couple in the ice dancing event (the French are contenders in it). So she (in typical French style), surrendered and voted for the Russians.
Any opinions on what should happen now?
