Is it really Canadian judges? I thought judges were selected from all of the participating countries? I remember watching sports where the RUS, USA, FIN judges were doling out scores.


Or, is it belly aching because it's the big sport even happening and nobody would care if people complained about something else?

Uhh... Racer, the guy who won gold had his skate pulled (hence why he went across the line sideways), the guy who did the pulling, then took out two behind him. Its a chain reaction, and the one who started it gets the DQ. Thats how it is done at the olympics, the world cup, or any other sanctioned event.

So stfu about shit when you have no clue what your talking about. He got bronze because the RULEBOOK specificly states, that in that case, he gets bronze.

Your not penalized for taking someone out with you when you've been taken out by no fault of your own. As it really isnt your fault.

And as far as mens USA hockey, your getting fucking stomped on.
