Hmmmmm.... 'Bad losers' does spring to mind. I wonder what the headlines would be if the situation had been reversed, something like; 'Canadians clinch gold from Russians with wonderful display of skating' (no plans to be a journalist
)
From what I saw the Russians should have been ahead after the short program, but overall I feel the Canadian pair should have taken the gold. However, I know very little about figure skating, (I can just about tell the difference between and toe loop and an axel), and I suspect a lot of people know little more (I'm not targetting anyone here btw). What people will remember are the jumps and throws, none of the not-so-crowd-pleasing moves, which might just be where the Russians won it.
Anyway, what is it about figure skating? There was Nancy Kerrigan and Tanya Harding last time, and now this.
