When she said in Week 1 that she was going to score Amy like the other contestants, I take that to mean in the *quality* of what she's doing. To say "there's a lot of true waltzing you couldn't do, but I appreciate the fact that you put in something else difficult (a lift) as compensation" is a different scenario then going easy on Amy. The quality of what she did was still great, and I do think she was penalized for lack of waltz content a bit, as she should have been, or else she'd have gotten showered with 10s like many others. But the lift mitigated some of the lack of content, and to deduct her for the lift would have been ridiculous in this scenario IMO.<br /><br />And yeah, what else can D/W fans but tear down others?

Based on what is on the ice - that DW absolutely did not do it, that mistakes were disregarded while VM were continually fucked with even prior to the second quad, how during the run up to Vancouver they were jerked around while DW were getting monster scores, we all know their win was arranged off the ice. <br /><br />I'm sure everybody knew VM were getting gold in Vancouver, and would earn it, but the table was being set, the precedents were being set for DW's gold and for setting tripwires for VM prior to Vancouver. <br /><br />Because DW so manifestly did not do it with the skating, as every single fan who has troubled to cross-check can see, something or somebody had to collude to achieve their win. Does the blog know the specifics, when it started? No. Does the blog know for damn sure David Dore had to be a big player in what happened? Absolutely. If he objected, it wouldn't have happened, and who but Dore could have set it in motion? Even if the idea didn't originate with him, only he could make it happen. Then there's Benoit Lavoie, who skedaddled prior to Sochi straight into the arms of the ISU. What sort of back scratching happened between him and Dore? Lavoie oversaw three straight years prior when Skate Canada enabled the DW narrative left and right, and had no push back against icenetwork's propaganda. Hell, look at Barb MacDonald's ability to use icenetwork to drop some sham spam. What about Rettstatt? Why did Igor Shpilband bring him up specifically when he'd only been mentioned on fan boards like fsu and here?<br /><br />It doesn't have to be everybody WANTING DW to get gold to get everybody under the tent colluding to get DW gold. It could be somebody in a position of power inside the sport, who has the means to make it worth the while of other people in power. It's horse trading, plain and simple. <br /><br />ocAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
