Go Joannie Rochette! It's funny cuz at school we were given an assignment to do research on an athlete from the Olympics and I chose Joannie Rochette. The next day she won a bronze medal! I was so happy! lol
i feel that Joannie has ben unfairly marked for the bronze. Silver would have been definitely better. Joannie has given an epic performance that would have made her mom so proud to have a beautiful and a talented daughter. Call me sensitive, but I love Joannie's performance and I think she deserved to have a higher mark than just a typical third place finish- second place would have been better!
As an American and an ice hockey skater, Joannie won the medal staight out. Her first performance was flawless compared to Asadas and even though she had a mishap during her second performenace, she skated beautifully. She is a tremendous young woman and a fantastic skater. Canada should be pround of her. Joannie you rocked !!!
She made so many mistakes than the other skaters and her performance was not even close as good to Asada`s, which I think is one great reason to why Asada is upset in the ceremony and interview. I feel sorry for Yuna and Asada especially Yuna. Her performance was flawless, yet she has to stand on the podium with Joannie who's performance was clearly full of mistakes.
Man, your retarded, another butthurt American. Sorry, but really? They were none the least biased, and she DESERVED IT COMPLETELY. Apparently you don't really know much of anything about how to judge the technical aspects of a skate, so let the judges do their job. Joannie won that fairly!
@thepack20 please judge a butthead on their buttheadedness NOT their nationality! I'm an American and couldn't have been more impressed by what Joannie has done, based both strictly on her talent but for the hellish situation she had to enjoy during what should have been a time of all joy for her.
So sorry to let you down but this American feels she definately and fairly earned a medal and I don't care for you lumping us all together OR your American insults!
Did not mean to offend you, my apologies. I just get very patriotic, and after all she's been through, this guy saying she doesn't deserve it got me riled up. However, I am glad you feel the same way on her deserved-ness!
I don`t think Joannie deserved such a high score. Yes, her mother passed away and despite of the situation Joannie didn`t give up and gave her best. But her best didn`t deserve the bronze medal and only .44points less of a difference than Asada Mao`s performance.
Your making Canadian people look so arrogant. Stop it. Joannie made mistakes and so did Asada. Kim Yuna got her high scores because she did that well. Just because you have an amazing coach, if the skater isn't fantastic there won't be such brilliant performances like Yuna's. Asada got her scores because she did that well.

Now for Joannie, she made many mistakes yet she got her high score that was extremely close to Asada's whos did better. Also, you said "Plashenko looked down upon Kim winning over her, because of her Canadian coach". Lol, if Kim won because of her Canadian coach, why didn't Joannie win the Gold? she's totally Canadian herself. And if Canada did gave Yuna gold because of her Canadian coach that shows Canadians are shameful, selfish, arrogant people.

That Plashenko person and you yourself are very thoughtless to be saying those things. If your Canadian, stop making them look so bad! Joannie did enough of that!
However, it is not unsympathetic or insensative to expect that all compeditors be judged without regard to factors that do not fit on the ice. This was a significant blemish on Canada, North American media and Olympic Figure Skating Commission.
Rochette = 6th
We don't need the figure skating judges to "teach" us how to respect life or show sympathy. We need them to do their jobs without bias or prejudice. They failed terribly. Although, media, not surprized.
umm.. they did do their job without bias. What are you , some expert in figure skating? Just another american bellyaching because that american chick, whos preformance wasnt close to joannies technically, fell flat and ended up in 4th. boo hoo..
Not only does she have the biggest heart of our athletes, and a triumphant podium finish, but she in one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Magnificent performance last night! I LOVE YOU JOANNIE!!!
wow....... she is so strong........ she had an injury and still performed and in her time of grief for her mother, she still performed.....she makes me proud to be canadian!

I wish the Olympic Committee would give Joannie an extra bronze medal that could be buried with her mom. It would be a nice thing to do.
