Why? Because if they do, and there is something just a bit wrong with the performance, everybody will think that the judges gave them the gold to make up for the whole pairs controversy. Meh, makes sense to me.
Oh, and does anybody else here think that Ice Skating should NOT be an Olympic sport? I mean, it is more of a competition, IMO. All of that technical merit and whatnaught shouldn't be in the Olympics.

Well my mom watches ice skating too. I don't, but I did watch the last three (Canadian, Russian and I think Chinese) do the whatever they call it and I have to say, they were robbed. I don't know a whole lot about figure skating but they looked dead on with everything they did and the Russians weren't as good. But you know what? It should be an Olympic competition, it just needs better judging. I mean the European judges have done this to Canadians many times before in skating (at least that's what my mom tells me
) and they're very biased. And I think that, what's her name Selet? I think she's hot
