New The French pair skating judge...
... has admitted to being pressured into giving the Russians the gold over the Canadians.

Heard on the radio this morning.

Maybe now they'll start using professional judges in that sport.

New Heard on CNBC last night...
...A suggestion to use judges from countries that don't have people competing. There are something like 75 countries in the International Skating Union. Why do the Americans, Russians, French, Chinese, Brits, etc always have judges, whereas some countries like Finland (who rarely have competitors) rarely get judging spots?

Not that I give a shit about figure skating. Give me hockey any day of the week (and twice on Sunday!)
