Korea revenge in 2018?

[Sam-Skwantch]

This thread is a terrible idea!! It seems like a majority of people want fair judging and would like to see reforms. This thread is a huge step back words in that regard. "MAY THE BEST SKATERS WIN"

Can we note (once again) that Sotnikova had a great FS at TEB 2013 and recived 65 in PCS just like Wagner,
And has since done nothing to logically up her PCS 10 points there, between bombing the GPF and losing Europeans,
Not that it is logical to up them 10 points in 3 months between 2 great performances anyways ?

Hey, you don't have to convince me that the points for Adelina were questionable. My point was that Adelina didn't come out of nowhere and should have been considered a threat, because with a clean skate her score would skyrocket. Julia falling and the Olympics being in Russia certainly helped her along the way, but she was a favourite before Sochi happened.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth so no wonder it made the whole world blind and no longer want to bite.

If these sort of blatant fake judging happen in 2018, figure skating deserve to get chuck out of the Olympics for good until we get someone good and is interested to run it as a proper sport.

lol, the Yuna fans are the definition of definition of desperate whiners

get over it, Olympics is over time to move on
and the so called queen retired for good
hopefully all her bots will be gone along with her

I hope they will show that they won't do anything nebulous and prove that they have sportsmanship like most of the worlds, like Kim Yuna herself.

Frankly, it's not worth it. If you cheated, your whole government/federation/skaters...etc would suffer from lots of critics. That is not sportsmanship. You got cheated, then you cheated people back, you think it's good? No, it's only show you that you are as bad as the one that cheated you. Other people will think badly of you. In short term, you would be satisfied, but in long term, you will find yourself at disadvantage. People will be very doubtful about you, because they are scared that you will likely to bite them.

Look at what happen to Russia, people already say that don't let any events be held in Russia anymore. They would be more reluctant to trust Russian when it comes to organising important events. Russia Fed surely have the attitude of the boss, like: "So what, we am still the boss and we are the largest nation and we are a large/powerful fed, we could make lots of money from out people so we don't care." Meh, the world only dislike you even more.

Not to mention, people would find it hard to like the skaters of that nation. Look at what happen to Adelina, she has received lots of hates even though I am sure she does not have a clue about the whole thing. All she did was skating as best as she could, and the judges gave her the score, that's it.

I hope nothing like that will ever happen again to any other skaters. I hope Korean Fed won't do that to any of their skaters. If skaters have talent, they will shine their own ways.

There may be no backlash in politicking, but I wouldn't be surprised if the stadium boos Sotnikova when her name is announced, or stays silent. Asians can hold grudges like nobody's business.

 

[Mista Ekko]

I wasn't aware Asians are known for grudges,

Sound kinda scary

Like that asian horror movie "The Grudge"

 

[Snow63]

Not gonna happen. There will be no Olympics in 2018 since there will be no world in 2018. Some nuclear explosion will destroy everything.

I think that Korea has far more interesting things to do that to hold a grudge against a teenager for 4 years

except the Grudge is in Japan

It wouldn't matter if the judges aren't Korean, someone will be paid off to fix the scores and judging panel just like they were in Sochi. Adelina's scores were very much inflated. She hadn't even competed in a World Championship and her best PCS marks were in the low-mid 8's in the European championships.

I am so tired of hearing statements like this. Do you have any proof that anyone was paid off to fix the scores?

I can already imagine that, I feel quite bad for Adelina

I actually started a thread about Adelina before the Olympics stating I thought she was a threat and why.

With the 2018 Olympics being held in Korea, I was wondering how much backlash there will be with Yuna Kim not getting the gold in Sochi. I feel the Koreans will get their revenge and the judges will mark down Russian skaters scores or increase other skaters marks. I am still baffled of how Adelina got such high PCS marks in Sochi. I think what happened in Sochi was Russia's way of revenge for the 2002 Salt Lake City games where they felt Irina should have won the gold over Sarah. But in my opinion, Sarah definitely deserved to win the free skate that night. I would have even had Michelle over Irina, putting her in 2nd place with Michelle winning the gold even with the fall. Irina's performance was slow,boring and she did have problems on her flip. Anyways that's just my opinion.

Let's see... Yuna Kim didn't win gold... Korea... backlash... REVENGE... against Russians... Adelina... can't let go of SLC, never mind Sochi...

Yup, it's Yet Another Thread created to moan about Sochi. Redundant.

And also this:

I highly doubt that Korea would bribe all the judges just for the pleasure of Russia not winning, when they have absolutely nothing to gain with since their only legitimate candidate to win is now retired.

except the Grudge is in Japan

Yup,

That's why i said Asian

At this point, I'd be highly surprised if Adelina (who I love) is still competitive enough to even qualify for those Olympics. The Russian field is so deep in women that I don't think we'll get to see another dominant figure like Slutskaya.

 

[sunnystars]

^My thoughts exactly. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Russian skaters switched to other countries before the Olympics.

 

[whatif]

i see Koreans still going on about this. How many more threads do we need?

 

[sky_fly20]

the poster is nothing but a Yuna fan
they are like machines who keep spamming

this thread needs to be lumped with the previous threads made by the Yuna fans
