2002 Olympics Jamie Sale crashing into Anton Sikharulidze

Pairs warm-up last group. Jamie Sale crashing into Anton Sikharulidze during the warm-up. Jamie had the entire responsibility for the incident- skating alone she didn't look where she was going . The rules say- those partners who skate apart should look around them and give the priority to those doing pair's elements .She knew she had no chance for the gold had Russians skate cleanly .Was it an attempt to get rid of their rivals?

Да эта дура явно по ноге Антону врезала, неужели все слепые, будьте объективны!!!

I hope it wasn't on purpose, but who knows?

Interesting enough, it looks like Sikharulidze was hurted with his leg and shoulder, but everybody worry about Jamie.

@accw Amen! The little linebacker was going full speed&simply didn't care.She was aiming for them.Look at the tape again.Anton and Elena had their backs to her.Elena almost crashed into the Chinese pair as a result of Jamies' actions.And Sandy and Scottie?! I can't recall a more blatant example of partianship.Jamie never met a camera she didn't like afterward to tell 'the story.'I'm glad most do not recognize them as true Olympic champs. She nearly reinjured a skater-Elena-who had brain surgery!

Это только доказывает, что она не умеет кататься на коньках :-) Неужели у нее совсем нет чувства стыда и собственного достоинства? Смотрю видео и самой неловко за нее делается.

Jamie's manipulativeness is what really bothers me. She knew as well as anyone that skaters moving as a pair have the right of way because obviously they can't move as freely as a single skater, yet instead of accepting responsibility for her carelessness she actually had the nerve to imply Anton was at fault. She demonstrated a complete lack of class and sportsmanship at the Olympics.

Unless Jamie has her eyes on the back of her head she couldn't see Anton. they show the accident from two different angles and i can perfectly see Jamie was coming right at him. was it on purpose? she knows better than anyone else, but i doubt she'll tell the truth.

@Gremelkina Согласна с вами! На записи четко видно, что Сале видела, куда ехала, а Антон с Леной ее не видели. Уверена, что Сале сделала это специально, чтобы травмировать наших ребят, либо для пиара. Эта стерва хотела победить любой ценой! В дальнейшем она не раз поливала грязью наших спортсменов: Тотьмянину с Марининым, Плющенко.

the canadian girl was lucky. wt if anton was injured? she would be responsible for that. even if anton was not injured, i still think it was too much for her to get the gold. she was already lucky once. why was she so selfish to demand for a second time?

in this sport, there are many people who had faced even more cruel judging than she did. she was already very fortunate to get a medal. think of the chinese skaters.

did Elena see her? She was always looking behind her.

@cobrareflection-READ the rules re: Pair Skating during warm-up. She was doing a solo element, looking at Anton and slammed right into him.Move on?...yes THEY'VE move on bringing @ this odious CoP's,through their actions,demanding getting a Gold Medal,putting the Sport on Life Support.Lloyd Eisler said " It put a blemish on our Sport."Chris Dean said were this held in Europe or Asia,it would have gone away as it should've after 2 days.S&P are not mentioned among the great.Known for their infamy.

@faeryquene-Oh she is such a spoiled sport and a spoiled brat.NBC was greedily filming her ' heartbreak,'while Elena and Anton's national anthem was being played. She couldn't control herself for 1:50 seconds.That crash was just as much if not more HER fault as Anton's. Unless he has eyes in the back of his head he couldn't see her.

Elena and Anton were the real winners, and not Canadians.
