These are the same poor souls who will be shocked by the next act of terror on these shores, the same poor souls who ask, "Why do they hate us so?" The Olympic Games never have been as genuine as the fat cats would have you believe. The Games never have been as clean or as politically neutral as advertised. The white doves have never saved lives or fostered good will among nations. The white doves are just props, like the rings, heavy-handed symbols that aim to distract while one of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) whores lifts your wallet. We now know that the androgynous-looking women from the old East German police state have health problems from their years as dirty athletes. We now know the old Soviet Union also enslaved its athletes in the name of the motherland. We now know not to trust the Chinese, especially their women swimmers.

Technical: During competition judges take notes to record what elements a skater or pair completes, noting the quality of each jump, jump combination, jump sequence, spin, and footwork/field movement sequence. Even though two skaters may complete the same number and level of jumps, there may be a difference in quality. Things that help differentiate between jump skills are: speed and flow on entry and exit, air position (proper backspin position versus a wrapped free leg), correct technique on take-off, and the height and distance achieved. All are criteria that apply to jump combinations or a series of jumps. Judges also assess ice coverage and consistency in the height of each jump in the combinations or series. In spins and spin combinations judges look for proper and aesthetically pleasing positions, speed and number of revolutions, the amount of height obtained in flying spins and the ability to centre and control on entry and exit.
