WATERCOOLER CHAT: SKATING CONTROVERSY, US VS CANADA RIVALRY

OLYMPICS

In the figure skating competition, we saw some controversy surrounding the medalists. Many thought that the three finalists were not necessarily the best skaters overall and blamed the judges. Apparently a few of the judges had questionable resumes and to make matters worse, the scoring is anonymous. Many people are upset and want the system of scoring changed. The Russian skater, Adelina Sotnikova won gold, South Korean, Kim Yu-na silver, and Italy’s Carolina Kostner bronze.

At noon on Friday, the United States will take on Canada for the chance to compete in the gold medal game. This matchup will be worth watching as these teams are huge rivals.
