This is real nonsense. I could make an argument for ROC being first, fourth or disqualified. Makes no sense at all for them to be third.

I hope an appeal will fix this. Or ISU will do it voluntary (looks like a miracle now).

Russia have just announced they are appealing against Valieva's disqualification

Only Russia has enough drugs to be high enough to think they'll win.

As in 2002, the media cares more about Canadian skaters than Skate Canada.

ISU is in kahoots with the Russians and would have let them keep gold if they could have. It's a disgrace.

While I agree, they also have way more power than Canadians.

The reasons the ISU give are basically a load of crap wrapped up in a sandwich...

This is obviously BS, but it also demonstrates just how bad the scoring system for the team event is (and it really should change).
