[QUOTE="DMaple, post: 56340, member: 947"] Well in my opinion the American should have come second, the winner didn't make mistakes in his routine, and after you have pulled off two quad's one in combination with a triple and a double you don't need to pull off a third to score high in the technical side. The Silver medal placed Russian was the one to have a wobble on his landing, after doing a quad/triple/double, combination which is technically more demanding than three seperate quads. The american was marked down on his artistic marks as you generally get those for doing more interesting stuff that just gliding around nicely on the ice. No matter how nice gliding might look to joe public it isn't exactly demanding in anyway. To be fair the music the American selected and his routine suited a looser less dramatic style artisticly so I do think he was unfairly marked down in that area, I think he should have come second. The winners routine however suited the music which was more demanding of a dramatic performance and was impressive both technically and artistically. He certainly deserved the Gold. This is all opinion and not bias in anyway comrade. ;) [/QUOTE]
