Guess this could also go into the TV alert thread as it’s not just skating mentioned in the documentary. Produced by Tara Lipinski’s husband, Todd.
Why do they need this Again? I am sick of this. It is time to move on. I will not watch this garbage and will not follow this thread either. Enough is enough.
How time flies, and that those Winter Games were 20 years ago.
Back in the day, we managed to read a copy of Joy Goodwin's compelling book, The Second Mark: Courage, Corruption, and the Battle for Olympic Gold, about the Salt Lake City scandal.
Jon Jackson's take on the affair, On Edge: Backroom Dealing, Cocktail Scheming, Triple Axels, and How Top Skaters Get Screwed was a very ordinary vanity publication by comparison.
Anton is interviewed/featured. Joy Goodwin, author of The Second Mark, is as well.Can't you look forward to new gold interviews from Elena & Moskvina? Doesn't seem like they could tempt Anton to join in, alas.
The Second Mark was so good. I really came away with renewed love for Shen & Zhao.
Why not cover more recent issues like
for example-
a coach abusing a US pairs skater and ending her career
I am sure there are more.
Athlete A also had its own issues though.It would be nice to have something like "Athlete A" for figure skating that would be current and informative instead of rehashing the SLC and Lillehammar Olympics all the time.
Since I don't want a rehash of this, I will stick with my original plan to stay away from this thread.Please no more SLC pairs scandal. This was resolved. A judge cheated, robbing the Canadians of the gold, outrage justly ensued and the gold was then awarded post competition..............
I just edited my post, and it was before I saw your comment. so don't take credit for that.See, there’s still interest in rehashing this!
It’s the 20 year anniversary. I don’t get Peacock anyways. I can’t believe the new judging system has been around that long. I need to stop saying “new”.Please no more SLC pairs scandal.

I still remember the arena erupting in boos and being super loud while Shen/Zhao just looked on amused as they waited for their turn to start. I wonder what would have happened if she held on to the landing of that quad throw and they skated all out. Would the judges had the guts to give them gold and people would have forgotten about Russian-Canadian placements?

Agreed, it's been hashed over and over. There are so many different ways to revisit FS history (like old school jumps vs today's jumps), the evolution of skating costumes, etc.It’s the 20 year anniversary. I don’t get Peacock anyways.

it was a very ugly time in figure skating history. Nobody needs to watch it.

Not just that it’s worse they now control ladies eat that nbcThe ultimate revenge is that Russia has made COP its b!tch.
I liked watching both episodes, because it's nice to see how everyone is feeling after 20 years.
