Obviously you are in denial or simply miss the point of right and wrong corruptness and moral right... Good luck you will need it. I personally feel anyone calling an entire nation(s) people idiots is but a simpleton at best and shows distain for right and wrong. On the other hand your ability to rationalize right and wrong is just the begining of your all to obvious flaws as a human...
The cold war whats that? heh must have been some time ago at this point who really cares about the cold war... It is time to make changes you know what I mean heh I seriously doubt it personally. You must be one of these but 100 years ago this happened so today we relive it over and over again until people are simply tired of hearing it.
Canadian skaters were screwed and people from many nations spoke up about it period a wrong has been righted period. Good for the people (Idiots to you from many nations) unlike you that have the moral balance to do something about. Heh a few more people like that and your breed of moral ineptness will be extinct.

No matter how many worldrecords are going to get broken these Olympics, the look on that Aussies face is the sporting highlight of 2002!

Short-course speedskating is a brilliant spectator sport because of incidents like this. Complaining about people getting knocked over is like complaining about people getting barged into in American football, or getting their ears bitten in Rugby- it's missing the point.

You know what? I saw the US dude tripped the Chinese guy who was ahead of him.
Foul play! Send the US dude to the international court!

Actually, UR, the Chinese skater caused the pile-up. That's why he was disqualified.
