#sochi problems

With no Lindsey Vonn, who can Americans get behind?

The gold was his already as this was Russia's original plan. After Russia losing in hockey and Plushenko dropping out, Russia was desperate in needed of a replacement. At least Plushenko was good enough to make it possible on his own. After him dropping out suddenly, there was no time for preparation to concoct a b.s. story as Russia didn't expect any of their girls to be near podium from the beginning anyway (good call since if the Olympics was in a diff country, Adelina wouldn't have made it to podium). I don't even get why they were so desperate for gold medals anyway. Nobody cares who won most gold by country, they care about the talents of INDIVIDUALS; countries honestly are put to the side. It's the athlete who wins the gold NOT the country in my opinion. When I watch the Olympics I remember the individual athletes not what country they came from. Now the whole scandal and investigation with Russian athletes using illegal Xe gases to increase their performance level? Why am i not surprised. If this is true Russia needs to get their priorities straightened out because it's quite ridiculous.
