ARGH!

THIS is what I hate about figure skating. Evan Lysacek skated a beautiful program, damn near flawless - if he bobbled, I certainly didn't see it. No falls, stuck all his jumps, and not half-ass sticks, either, solid landings that flowed right into the next move. How then, can two skaters with multiple falls and several sketchy moves have placed *ahead* of Lysacek? I can't believe he's not getting a medal. Unbelievable. Man, it had been a good Olympics experience for me up 'til now. Edited to add: YES, while signing off, the female analyst (no idea who it is) said the performance of the night belonged to Evan Lysacek. YA THINK? He was so, so robbed. It makes me crazy. Friggin' asshole judges, man. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. ;-(

I think I am glad I didn't stay up to watch it all last night, I think I would have been extremely ticked off this morning about the injustice of it all. I mean the Chinese pair came in for Silver and she fell, BADLY!

See, I hate that the scoring is so heavily weighted for trying. Trying is great, because otherwise, *every* program would be a safe, boring one, but should they really be giving medals to skaters with multiple falls and shaky landings? There's got to be a better way.
