No talk of the judges rigging the women's ice skating final for the Russian skater?

Yeah, let's not even get into the "it's not a sport" thing but it's by far the most corrupt competitive activity. So arbitrary it's unreal - and the black French girl kept getting poor scores because she wasn't graceful. Clearly racists as well.

the black french girl wasn't good at all tho. i don't think racism is why her scores were low

They said the Russian girl had the harder routine so that's why she scored higher. The reigning 2 time gold medal champion had a slighter easier routine but also did great in that last performance.

She had the harder routine and deserved her technical scores, but her PCS was way too high for both programs.
