From what I hear there is some controversy over that medal as well.
Apparently they had to call the judge in to make the final call. It seems that the Korean skater appeared to "tackle" the American skater and caused the crash. The judge had to make a call on how the race was to be decided. The judge said the race results were going to stand. The controversy is the judge was Austrailian.
I don't know anything for sure, this is just what I heard on Talk Radio this morning.
In my opinion I don't think the Olympics should continue, or at least that the US should continue to participate. The Olympic commitee does not think the US should be allowed to host the games any more, because we are too patriotic. This is the first year that the Olympic committee did not allow the Boy Scouts to volunteer at the games in something like 100 years. The reason is because the Boy Scouts don't allow homosexuals to join. There is a question on the "buying" of judges.
I have not watched the Olympics this year and I will never again. I think it would be a powerful statement if the US said, "Enough!", we should back out of the olympics completely. Then we see how far the Olympics go without its biggest supporter.
