In response to "Ohno knows how to push a guy down without making it look bad and the judges know that." by David

I continue to get a kick out of how dirty the Koreans skate, knowing that they're getting DQ'd.

There was a B-final where there were just two skaters, a Korean and a Chinese skater. The Korean still managed to get himself kicked out.

Responses:

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 work with a girl from Saint-Felicien, St-Gelais hometown. They're *loud* but adorable! :) -- nm - Guigue Mar 2, 12:27
        
        Over and over again. Every time he raced. We were talking about making a drinking game out of it. -- nm - David Mar 2, 12:24

        *imagines her cheering him on in bed like that...feels weird about it...keeps going with it* -- nm - Max Mar 2, 12:39 4
        
        (also, in some moments she looks not unlike Andy Samberg) -- nm - Max Mar 2, 12:43 3
        
        that's cause she's a ginger. most of them do. -- nm - Remlik Mar 2, 12:47
        
        You're imagining Andy Samberg in bed? -- nm - David Mar 2, 12:44 1
        
        He's on a horse. -- nm - Max Mar 2, 12:47
        
        Heh..one guy helps her over; the other dude rushes in like it's a security breach. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 2, 12:26
- He's the Reed Richards to their Victor von Dooms. -- nm - Reagen Mar 2, 12:12
