But these routines had to have a certain amount of elements included, and they met the requirements. They peformed it flawelessly. Their jumps are beautiful. The commentators, the audiance, everyone (me watching) expected them to win: KNEW they would win. Those who thought they were better are not in the minority. What's the use of having a more difficult program if you can't perform it perfetcly?

It was an Olympic year and they can't come up with anything better than a rehash of cheesy 'Love Story?' If B&S program-Meditation- was a novel, this was a comic book. Lots of posing, stops, start. And let's not forget they fell at the end of their OP, yet the Canadian judge and German judge placed them 1st?!
Awarding the gold the the russian pair was a farce. I watched both programs and yes the russians were very good but the emotions and the lack of mistakes in this pair makes it obvious that they won. Of course the French judge tried to back pedal for her comments. She wanted to save face. Ask yourself, was there corruption, yes or no?
lifeless and boring. the russians program was far more passionate and beautiful. these 2 had to whine and cry like babies to get a gold medal. they couldnt be good sports about it. they had to destroy figure skating forever to get their tainted gold. i hope they are happy.
Yes the Russians got a more difficult program, yet Jamie and David were breathing together in this whole routine and that's what's making this perfect. No matter how good you are, if you don't feel it, you'll always be in second place...
Motigflames-the sport DID lose not just serious credibility but all credibility. These two ruined it. Instead of being the heartbreak kids of SLC w/the silver medal they had to run from camera to camera for a WEEK w/their federation in tow demanding a gold medal. So one is given. There is no remarking by the judges; no replay.If you're going to demand a gold medal your work should stand up to a replay. Then the ISU overrules itself w/the IOC and awards the medals. Lots of credibility there. Not.

The Russians skate sooo much better, they moved like ballet dancers, while these two do very simple movements pulling out funny faces..The others were just the ones who deserved it

They DIDN'T WIN on the ice where it counts or the podium.They demanded and whined along w/their federation until they got their consolation prize a WEEK later.Lloyd Eisler said 'it put a blemish on the sport,"Chris Dean [said] "If the Games had been held in Europe, Asia, this [debacle] would've gone away in a day or two."
They are NEVER mentioned among the greats because they're NOT.
They are such old news now anyway.
B&S skated to"Meditation," Artistically so much better than these two.

While the russian program was harder it was far from perfect.
This was, they should have won, and the IOC made the right choice.
They had too or the sport woud have lost serious credibility.

They didn't win for the same reason Ali McGraw and Ryan O'Neal didn't win for best actress and actor. The others nominees were so much better.

Glad that they got the gold after all - but unlike Paul Hamm, no one asked Berezhnaya and Sikharaulidze to return their gold medals.

The irony of it all that it was perfect and they didn't medal. It was a very sad story and they pulled it off.

Hey man, you have to be informed before talking. They received the gold medal, which shared with Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze, so incredible rivals.
