[QUOTE=Trex]

to eliminate judging bias, events would be limited to those which can be measured in terms of speed, accuracy, strength, endurance, etc. If a judging panel is required to measure ‘grace’ or ‘technique’, then the event should not be included.[quote]

I am still angry that in one of the recent winter olympics one of the French figure skating judges admitted that she biased her scores on political grounds.

She was banned from judging for about 2 years. Two years??? Why would a judge who was guilty of cheating not be banned for life. Banned as you leave right this second and you never never come back.

Two year ban means she can be a judge in future olympics. Even when we know she cheated. She admitted to cheating.

That's what's wrong with the olympics
