What an absolute joke

Seb Touts will not repeat as Big Air champ.  Just hope he's okay.

The Russian teen figure skater can compete in the women’s singles despite doping. Just released

It's ridiculous.  They say it's provisional until further investigation, but we all know they're just trying to wait until the heat is off.  Their other excuse is that she's a minor.  Yeah, so I guess Russia should just concentrate on doping their children now.  But what difference does it make, they get away with everything.

Marion Thenault into the final. It'll be a tough field but first Canadian woman in the final since 2006.

Honestly how will they ever get banned ? Do they need to tear down the whole sustem?

[orangeman 2,015]

Three Canadians into the final of Big Air (maybe not the three we would have thought).  Sharpe survived 9 guys falling to get him to the final.  Parrot qualifies in first.

Looks like Thenault is the only Canadian through to the Aerials final. The other two Canadians are 22 and 19 respectively (Thenault is 21), many of the other competitors are in their late 20's or early 30's, lots of promise here.

They won't.  Unfortunately.

Why can’t it though. There are a lot of clean nations . Why is it Russia who holds all the power ?

They're too powerful, especially in sports like figure skating.  Russia will also use it politically as an excuse to continue to attack others.  I don't want to get political, but unfortunately it already is.
