Bronze: NOT Awarded (CAN and USA both DQed in the Final)

 

Strange, generally that is the exact reason why there is a B final. In fact, the Dutch women won Olympic bronze because they won the B final (in a WR) last year and got promoted after DQ's in the A final.

What a weird sport it is anyway, Suzanne Schulting pretty much pushed out a Chinese skater in the last lap of the women's relay semis.........and China got DQ'd for exactly what Schulting actually did :lol: :facepalm:

the rule is different from time to time...at the Olympics and at the world champs, medals are awarded through the B final (if needed), meanwhile at the world cup events the B final exists only to give WC points away, but no medal is awarded outside the A final (also because in the relays, the A final and the prize ceremony are held way before the B finals, which are placed at the end of the TV session)...

Not in the mixed. And even so, so what? It's a weird thing to have this difference.

I agree...it's really a nonsense to have different rules for the same event in different competitions...

 

but ISU wants it and we can only take it as it is, like it or not...:dunno:
