I guess thats my biggest gripe about the Olympics

Some sports diving, figure skating, gymnastics depend on judges opinions which sometimes are political
That's why it's always been necessary to take those competitions' results with a grain of salt.  I just try to enjoy the athletic and artistic aspects, and not worry too much about the judged outcomes.

It's also why I've really begin to enjoy sports like snowboard cross and ski cross, which are direct head-to-head competitions.

Figure skating is great, aside from the judging aspect, which just invites tomfoolery.

Those skaters last night were insanely athletic and talented.

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Style points are one thing I don't like about ski jumping.  It should be just about distance, and nothing else.
