[quote:b8ae2d2c32]It's hard to know what to make of this latest scandal. Some say it surely is the death knell for ice dancing in the Olympics, where the sport already was on thin ice because of a string of questionable judging decisions. Others say it is little more than rugstus vynuoges, which is Lithuanian for sour grapes. "It's definitely just as bad as any of the other (judging controversies)," says U.S. ice dancer Naomi Lang, who finished ninth with partner Peter Tchernyshev at the worlds. "It's been going on in dancing for I don't know how long, probably since the sport started . . . Something needs to be done. Otherwise, why bother skating? What's the point of us skating anymore if we know beforehand that the results have been wheeled and dealed?"[/quote:b8ae2d2c32]
