Because Mr. Ahn did a mock parody of Ohno STEALING Korea's gold, the 2006 judges kept close eye on the Korean players. Realizing this, coaches of the Korean shorttrack teams instructed every one of their players to start the races a half a beat slower and to not give them any excuses to disqualify them. Some Korean players still got disqualified while others who did the same moves were not. I.E. Ohno, with couple of false starts, did it again with a headstart and was ignored.
Homer...Speed skating is roller derby on ice. There are more suspect sports in the Olympics than I can count anymore. Unlike popular misconception, these sports favor small Asian countries as opposed to the USA. ELIMINATE: Badminton, ST speed skating, and bring back Tug-O-War.
not many peeps know the story but sleeboss is right
