I think every win (be it Olympic or other) will be controversial for somebody for a whole list of reasons:
1. They deserved to win but they were overscored.
2. They deserved to win but the margin with second place was too big.
3. The margin with second place was too small hence not convincing
4. They didn't have the most difficult program, played it safe
5. They had the most difficult program, but aren't strong on PCs
6. They didn't win both segments so not convincing enough
7. There's a hypothetical scenario where someone else could have gone clean and won so not convincing enough
8. They didn't win with the absolute best skate of their career
9. They used tactics people don't agree with (backloading, recycling programs)
10. They won on home ice so something fishy must have happened
11. Personally preferring the other skater/team's style/program so they should have won, technicals be damned
12. They don't have enough other titles to back their win
Am I missing something?
