    - Yes, bery. What we're trying to determine is what people are looking for that they're not finding. - David Mar 2, 12:23 1
      - The one Jack found will work fine. Actually, it's perfect. -- (link) - JaxSean Mar 2, 12:27
  - You know, I just realized thanks we're talking about the same thing. What did you want instead of this? -- nm - David Mar 2, 12:21 4

No way Ohno deserved that DQ. - Stephen Mar 2, 12:06 26
- I wonder if skaters ever take dives like soccer players do. In this case it looked to me like Ohno was extending his arm. - Max Mar 2, 12:16
- I'm surprised he got dinged for the Chinese racer, too. The should have brought up the winner of the 2nd final -- nm - Mop on iPhone Mar 2, 12:13
- whats you'r job? i'm a referee! really? yeps just like the 250 million others that saw it on TV -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 2, 12:10
- Ohno knows how to push a guy down without making it look bad and the judges know that. - David Mar 2, 12:08 22
  - It seemed like the same incidental contact that goes on in all of those races. I think Ohno's body language was more in the line of "I made contact - pmb Mar 2, 12:34 1
    - I agree with this. (nm) - musubi Mar 2, 12:52
  - I continue to get a kick out of how dirty the Koreans skate, knowing that they're getting DQ'd. - Reagen Mar 2, 12:10 18
    - Once when a Korean was falling down, he intentionally, specifically tried to grab Ohno too. -- nm - David Mar 2, 12:11 17
      - In the 500m? He tried to grab Hamelin (or at least it looked like he did) - Guigue Mar 2, 12:20 2
        
        No, this was in the preliminary round of a longer race (I want to say the 1500). I was the one saying his DQ in the race you mention is perfectly vali -- nm - David Mar 2, 12:21 1
        
        Ok, cause in the 500m, it seems like the Korean tries to grab the skate of Hamelin while he's falling down -- nm - Guigue Mar 2, 12:24
      - Yeah, I wondered if that was because if his Japanese heritage -- nm - Stephen Mar 2, 12:14 12
        
        it's partially that, and partially because they think he gets away with stuff. -- nm - Reagen Mar 2, 12:16 11
        
        Even the Korean skaters acknowledge he's the most famous skater in Korea. -- nm - David Mar 2, 12:16 10
        
        Did they happen to show you guys the clip of Hamelin's gf (the women's silver medallist) in the stands during his race? - Reagen Mar 2, 12:22 9

        I just don't see it; one guy wins and both are big power hitters with mediocre defense. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 12:14 2
        
        Given David can't read right, I agree Prince should be ahead of Howard in fantasy terms. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 2, 12:17 1
