That's incorrect. Olympic truce is not a thing in general, and dozens of other countries were not banned in similar situations. About 99% of everything published is just speculations of people who try to make sense out of situation that makes no sense. All this bothered me so much so I went to...

Lol, the real question was not why the Russians were allowed, but rather why they were disqualified in the first place - and no one had a comprehensive answer other than "they are evil", which is a non starter for a meta-national organization such as IOC. But apparently there is a legal answer...

The fact that most people have zero idea of ice-dance rules doesn't mean everyone does. Even I am capable of predicting where each couple will end up watching live (for the most part...), let alone someone who studied the rules and skated himself. So factually it's far from being the most...

I'll go left field. The most memorable moment for me was the lift in the sp of Nagaoka/Mariguchi. I have never seen such a lift covering so much ice on such speed.

I saw the real Johnny Weir... No, he isn't. In fact even Johnny Weir barely looks like Johnny Weir nowadays.

One of the best events in the recent memory, and one of the happiest results possible going into the Olympics. France, US and Japan got three spots, Kazakhstan did too for no obvious to an eye reason (they have that other guy, Jirinbaev or something, who's decent, but I don't think he can...

Andreas is mostly fluff and sugar, not really high protein at all.

Hagara is even less convincing Bond than Hernandez

Grassl is "doing" Billy Elliott with this "costume".

How many Selevkos are there? Maybe there's a third one who can bomb a bit less.

By the looks of it, this already happened.

This competition was some kind of bs, but who cares. I don't see any principal difference between 1st and like 15th, but judges obviously do, and with a huge margin, so what do I know. Over all very enjoyable, congratulations to all the medalists :respect: I think generally the level is super...

The results are so nonsensical to me today, that I stopped bothering and just enjoying the flight.

For Car/Pon the word "uninspired" comes to mind. When doing Carmen you have either to go Scott Moir's route and do something left field, or be Scott Moir. Preferably both.

S/D have a very effective program... But I'd have them behind Czechs, French and Finns. I don't think they are equally good skaters
