I dont get why all the fuss just because some...
One last thought regarding my whole reason posting this…
I personal have no problem with fans being upset that their favorite team didn't win or are disappointed by the results. I completely understand when a favorite doesn't get what you believe they should get, etc.
My whole point is in regards to people saying that there is a scandal and by Davis and White winning that proves it. That disappoints me greatly that people would think there is a conspiracy in the final results because of 1.) that ridiculous French newspaper with it's flaming article about nothingness. and 2.) or that they are that upset about someone else winning the gold that their favorites were literally robbed of the gold.
My last point is that both Meryl/Charlie and Tess/Scott train together on the same ice back at their home rink WITH the same coach, Marina Zoueva. They are training partners (I always chuckle that Tess and Scott don't even train in Canada! Kind of ironic in all of this!) and I do not think they are giving any sort of thought that they were not given a chance because of a conspiracy theory. I am sure they are disappointed they didn't get the gold again, but I highly doubt they doubt what their training partners put out. Unfortunately, the media likes brew up faux tensions where they are not even evident. If, IF there was any sort of 'fix', Marina would have been all over that. We must remember that both these teams are great friends off the ice and are pleased with each other results regardless of medal color.
As an American, I was beyond exciting in Vancouver to not only see Tess and Scott take the top prize and then Charlie and Meryl getting silver. For me that was as close to getting silver on American soil because Canada is a hop, skip and jump away. If America doesn't win, but Canada does, I am pretty happy for that same reasoning.
What needs to be celebrated is that Marina Zoueva has created two incredible programs that nobody else in the world could beat. Now that is pretty incredible. I love both teams and think they both skated wonder programs. Do I favor one over the other? Sure. But I still like both teams.
