Do the Russians have a chance in Pyeongchang?
Somehow I feel as though most of the Russian skaters will leave the Pyeongchang Olympics disappointed. I think memories of how corrupt the Sochi games were in terms of home ice figure skating scoring have left an indelible mark in our sport that won't be forgotten in four years. Now, if every other skater implodes and only the Russians skate well...that may be a different story. However, should anyone else attack and show "heart," I think it's toast for the Russians at the next Winter Olympics. Sad, but it's understandable.
