Sale and Pelletier 2002 Olympic Fluff

[libralady1010]

Has anyone ever noticed-certainly not Mz. Bezic or precious Scottie that Jamie has a bit of a snarl when she speaks?Besides being a sore loser,she hasn't any sportsmaship No wonder people were wondering why she kept skating.She doesn't skate! A lot of stop,stare& posing.She's been around since Lillehammer.3 Olympics&she finally gets " her gold" with an onion in her handkerchief.And of course the public relations help from the biased Mz. Bezic &Scottie proclaiming them winners-UGH!- prematurely.

[JadeAerisPrincess]

They should have been the only ones with the gold. Stupid corrupt judges.

[lilmisstoepix17]

These two inspire me every day =) And BTW - don't have a go at me for saying this - but does anyone else think she looks kinda like Nancy Kerrigan, but prettier???

[LovelySouthStar]

@lilmisstoepix17 Since you are saying you're but 13 I will not say anything other than in this particular interview she looks very ' hard.' Jamie becomes very angry if things don't go HER way. I'm 28 and the facial expressions, the body language say this is a woman you best be careful. Her first World's, there was no grace or manners at all.

[lilmisstoepix17]

@LovelySouthStar Hi! =) You're right, now i watch it again and look out for the expressions and stuff something isn't quite right about her, she doesn't seem like the nicest person at all. Amazing skater though. I'm a competitive skater and I know plenty of talented girls/guys/pairs teams/dance teams but I can't say I know anyone who will ever come close to qualifying for the Olympics, let alone winning the gold!

The most moving part of this video is the teddy bear that never came back down 1:06

[chegitta23]

@montrealuser09 they FELL DOWN!!!! they cannot win if they fell down.

[libralady1010]

They not only fell down in the OP, their LP was old and had much simpler technique .A ton of crossovers and questionable hand holds.The Canadian and the German judge placed them 1st in the OP! Watch B&S 's OP-it's gorgeous. Then watch the ridiculous op of S&P. To think anyone would refer to these two as Olympic Champions?!?

[Jesusfreak28532]

@libralady1010 The point is not whether they "deserve" it, the point is that the Russians only earned the gold because of cheating by a judge. You are not a judge, therefore you don't decide, the judges do. And obviously the judges thought they should win

[libralady1010]

@Jesusfreak28532 yeah they only fell down in the OP-skated to cheesy love story LP and it was a 4-4 split. They wreaked more havoc on the Sport and are the most overrated team in Skating. And are YOU a judge? I was a Judge until this silly baloney. They suceeded in putting the Sport on Life Sport. B&S skated an exquisite program to Lady Caliph in the OP and Meditation in the LP. Glad s&p-they retired before they could wreak more havoc!

[Jesusfreak28532]

@libralady1010 No I'm not a judge. Therefore, I've never tried to say who ultimately won/should've won. I wasn't judging so therefore its not my business. My only thing is that obviously the at least half of the judges thought that S&P's "cheesy" Love Story was as good, or better than the Russians. And if the French judge had done her job, she could've been the 5th vote.

[libralady1010]

@Jesusfreak28532 NO obviously you're not a judge! You're saying it's not your business but you have a ignorant interest in it. Care to continue?

[Jesusfreak28532]

@libralady1010 I have an ignorant interest in it? It's not like you've got a compelling one. And yes, obviously I'm not a judge, otherwise I wouldn't be on here 8 years laters still arguing about this. And yeah, I'll continue. I love how you've ignored everything else I've said, completely abandoning your arguments about how P&S are "overrated" etc....care to back anything you've said up?

[libralady1010]

@Jesusfreak28532 when NBC commentators yell out who the winner is before the rest of the field is done- HELLO?!? Scottie & Sandy-you're not the only one who's ignorant! And yes: they were gifted 2001 Worlds'. Scottie has yelled out FOUR times before the field was completed who the winner was. 1990,1994, 2002 and 2010 US Nationals.' You're a freak but Jesus has nothing to do w/it.

[Jesusfreak28532]

@libralady1010 K, so now we're going with personal insults? Awesome, way to persuade me of your pov. And I wouldn't say they yelled out who the winner was, but rather who they believed would be in first place. Not saying that they were going to win the whole competition. And they were handed the WC? Really? And why would you say that? This conspiracy theory is getting better and better!

[libralady1010]

@Jesusfreak28532 We're done here. It's hopeless and a lost cause to convince someone who knows nothing about Figure Skating @ certain rules. How many hours have YOU volounteered judging local competitions, etc.? You like to argue without knowing any facts @ the Sport. Frankly, you just like to argue... PERIOD.

[Jesusfreak28532]

@libralady1010 I might not know as much as you, but at least I can point out the basic facts of what happened at the competition. And I love how you're avoiding every question I've asked.

[Jesusfreak28532]

@libralady1010 And I love how THEY wreaked havoc on the sport, simply by doing their best. And obviously they're not the most overrated if they were WC. Oh, unless of course they were miraculously handed that title as well.

[LovelySouthStar]

@Jesusfreak28532 No the point is, there was a tie. 4-4. GEDDIT ?! The judges "obviously "did not think they should win. A tie. The " cheating Frenchy judge" later recanted her remarks. Watch B and S clips, if you care to but something tells me you wouldn't recognize a properly landed CLEAN edge were you on the egde of a cliff! This wasn't Rodnina and Zaitzev!

[Jesusfreak28532]

@LovelySouthStar There were nine judges. Not 8. If the French judge had done her job correctly there's no telling who would've won. And at least 4 judges+the commentators and crowd thought that the Canadians should've won. Thats all I'm saying. The Russians may have had a more technical program, but to say that the Canadians were overrated is obviously not true if they were able to pull half of the judges votes.

[LovelySouthStar]

@Jesusfreak28532 Yes. I only skated for 9 years and never KNEW there were 9 judges. NOT! Bollocks! You know the difference between a triple lutz and a " flutz"? Watch Sale' and Pelltiers' OP - WHERE THEY FELL DOWN. One cannot WIN the Gold with the technical program. However one can lose it. Yet TWO Judges placed them first,one placed them FIFTH which was correct. The tape-Scott H., DOES shout,'what happened? They won that program.'

[LovelySouthStar]

@Jesusfreak28532 Watch the tape of the LONG PROGRAM. He says' " one more throw and the Gold is their's. " ' When the marks came up on he wailed, '" What HAPPENED?!? They WON THAT PROGRAM ! " ' All the while the Chinese team are waiting for all this to be over so THEY can skate. Self-righteous Bezic threw in her remarks, too.Oh SHE has no interest in who wins. Bollocks! She was Scottie's choreographer for SOI. Thankfully Tom Hammond was there to TRY to moderate their collective hissy fit!

[Jesusfreak28532]

@LovelySouthStar Once again, all I'm saying is that I believe that the judging was to close for anyone to ourightedly say that the Russians should've won. I'm not saying that they didn't, but I think it's to close to call.

[Jesusfreak28532]

@Jesusfreak28532 sorry *threw

[Jesusfreak28532]

@LovelySouthStar I'm not saying that the Russians shouldn't have won, I'm just saying that its not as clear cut as some people might like to believe. The scores were alot closer than alot of people on here care to admit. All I'm saying is that it's absolutely ridiculous to think the Canadians in no way deserved to even have a gold medal when we have no idea how the judging would've gone without the controvers. Maybe the Russians still would've won, maybe not. We will NEVER know

[LovelySouthStar]

@Jesusfreak28532 Commentators are to be impartial. Yet the Chinese team had not even warmed up for their LP which had a quadruple axel. She came very close to landing it, too. Scott H., and Sandra Bezic.She who never finished in the medals are already becoming agents for Sale'and Pelltier' Read " Frozen Assets,' by Mark Lund and be a just a little more informed before you declaim your statements about who should have won.

[stads24]

It's true!

[astridbelge]

jamie seems like someone who had never win a medal

look at her glee, ridiculous

[psurocks33]

Does anyone know what the music that starts at 3:24!!! It is so good. Please help!!

[sleepingcat747]

[HyperMangoKid]

These two are awesome. I remember when I first saw them perform when I was like 11 or something, I put my hair up in a ponytail (that I previously never liked). They're so great to watch! :-)
