Short Track Speed Skating at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

That's why I prefer clean sports, where talent is the deciding factor, not good relationships with the jury. If Brignone wins, it's because she's the best, and nothing clown from Hungary or any other country can change that. Unfortunately, there are more and more disciplines at the Olympics where the jury primarily decides who wins, who loses, and who wins a medal.

We lost the gold to Korea, but if we were going to lose to anyone, it was them- the country that is the cradle of this sport, not the Netherlands, which only seriously entered the sport eight to last 8-10 years ago and created serial dominators, like in speed skating, track cycyling, etc. I simply can't like their model, where they create athletes for serial victories in 2/3 selected disciplines.

The Italian federation has issued an official stance – I hope they finally take a closer look at this Hungarian clown. I just hope it's not like someone wrote here, where the former Canadian skater makes the decisions and that Hungarian just announces them.

The Canadian who went down with Sighal also didn't advance. There was no advantage for Canada. The only decision was if Sighal would advance, and the official said no. No one advanced. Even if you think it was an unfair ruling, it didn't benefit Canada in any way. 

 

Meanwhile, several Canadians have been penalized throughout the competition, just like every other country. One even got a yellow card. Dandjinou was on his way to a medal, but was bumped in the final and lost. Our women today were bumped by the Koreans and nothing was done. These things happen in short track. At no time did any decision benefit a Canadian, whether you agree with it or not.
