‘Why is she not penalized?’: US columnist attacks ‘strategic’ Russian skater Zagitova.
USA Today columnist Christine Brennan has launched a scathing attack on Russian figure skater Alina Zagitova, criticizing the teenager’s “strategic” routine and calling for judges to penalize her composition.
Brennan argues that the 10 percent bonus is awarded for jumps attempted in the second half, when the skater’s legs are tired from jumps attempted in the first half, claiming the 15-year-old attains extra points “without having put in the exertion.”
RedCherries * "Why doesn't the US athletes do the same? Of course bcause they cannot do successive leaps like the Russian athlete does. The US athlete needs time to relax her muscels before doing another jump. And here is the absurdity of this claim which is definately intended to influence the judges. Zagitova employs much more effort to execute the curls all in succession than any other athlete who does not or is not capable to, to be exact. This unique capability of Zagitova deserves to be rewarded. Period."
GoldDog * 3 hr "Wait, she won by doing what the rules say she can do and the US are complaining again? So, I was right all along, the US isn't concerned about doping or cheating, but just can't accept anyone beating them."
of course you as an American are embarrassed now and full of rage because Russians are kicking your ass playing by the rules. LOL
Elijah Cox
Not really
Brody Price
it's not a sport if it requires judges to determine the winner
Jaxon Phillips
oh so you prefer men's skating, faggot.
Jonathan Bell
user you are correct.That is actually outrages. Wonder why Americans are not forcing Olympic Committee to change that.
>oh so you prefer men's skating, faggot. LOL
Jordan Harris
Nice Engrish, faggot
Logan James
Since America is the greatest nation on earth, anyone else winning is inherently suspicious.
Jaxon Barnes
Who gives a fuck about english. I know that you are massively triggered. LOL
Ayden Parker
Why do (((Americans))) hate Russians so much?
Caleb Butler
did you seriously delete your post to edit the grammar?
Nicholas Brown
>Fake news by russian bots :^)
Leo Peterson
Is there anything worse than sore losers?
Michael Baker
America's mutts can't stand the fact that Russia's white athletes routinely outperform them. Embarrassing desu.
Lincoln Ramirez
>did you seriously delete your post to edit the grammar? I didn't edit any grammar, I don't give a shit about proper grammar. Use your brain and intelligence (assuming you have any) to read posts made by people who's english is not perfect but who speak few other languages.
I just changed the triggered image.
Gavin Hernandez
kek
Camden Miller
did you seriously just respond to yourself? Stop hiding your flag.
Hunter Evans
You definitely changed the phrasing
Jeremiah Sullivan
another Russian ice skating star.
Jeremiah Diaz
homosexuals like Christine Brennan apparently, oh wait, it is a jewess, not a homosexual jew. My mistake.

Oh yes, besides changing the triggered image I made this change: FROM: "who gives a fuck about english." TO: "Who gives a fuck about english." FROM: W TO: w is that too confusing for your intelligence to grasp?

Ryan Kelly

Andrew Jenkins
>unmarried man detected
Andrew Bennett
>that russian skater performance
Austin Gonzalez
>russians shouldn't be allowed to score higher than americans just because they're better
Nope, I want Russians to win to shut everyone up about doping this and cheating that. Or, for them to double down on their idiocy and ban or penalize Russians for nothing so more people realize it's all just international politics.
Two ways to win, no ways to lose.
Jonathan Powell
YES! and it's actually very pathetic at this point. Sign of weakens and fear.
But at least there are Americans like you who can see the true reality of this so very absurd behavior.
Leo Jones
Whom senpai, whom.....
Charles Cruz
That performance made me a fuken perv
Michael Mitchell
US female athletes aren't trained nearly as hard as Russians and the Chinese. They get their bones all twisted in and reset when they're 3-5 years old, that'd be illegal in the US
Evan Brown
Go home Ivan, your pigor ramblings have no place here
Gavin Cooper
That is fucking beautiful! Only jealous american pigs can criticize this performance. Americans are on self defence because even after the olympic scandal they still lose on every sport.
Aiden Thompson
The USA are the biggest cheaters in the Olympics, and still they are total failures.
