[averageworkinggal]

Joannie's a real sweetheart.

It's easy to see why the Canadians love her.

She's a real lady on the ice.

[ShantiOoom]

All the best to Joannie and her family. God bless.

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

[thepack20]

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!

[VeryFineWhine]

@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!

[thepack20]

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!

[Mikey479]

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.

[Steve3657]

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 !!!

[gatineausparks]

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..

[xxjess93]

thank you so much!! i have been looking this up for hours!

[artistiqperformance]

Sorry for Joanne's loss.

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.

[jonkaho]

beautiful girl!

[mattfca]

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!!!

[mintels]

[Bryan711117]
