More Skategate...
>>"We are concerned for the athletes,'' IOC director general Francois Carrard said.
Carrard said the skating chief also assured that the ice dance competition, often the subject of disputed judging, would "be presented in the most proper way'' when it begins Friday night.
Some skaters feared that judges might now juggle their votes to avoid the appearance of fixing in ice dancing. That might hurt the chances of the favored French couple, Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat.
"I think the judges are in big trouble if the French win,'' said Alexander Zhulin, who coaches U.S. and Canadian ice dancers and was a silver medalist in 1994.
"Because of huge pressure on the Russian federation, they will try not to vote for the French. It's best for everyone if Lithuania will win.''<<
See, this is where it's handy for a country like Canada to have rude American pals.
If the French ice dancers win and they didn't earn it, look for a Jerry Springer style melee from the audience.
Stuffed animals and crushed roses will be flung at the judges, sodas will fly and the Utah Jazz basketball team's dirtiest player, Karl Malone, will elbow the French skaters in the head.
Sequins and chiffon will be stomped into the ice. The French will wince and throw lit cigarettes and Cabernet at the hecklers.
All I can say is this.
French ice dancers, bust a move, you snail sucking cheaters.
