In the wake of the judging scandal at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, figure skating has done its best to revamp its scoring system. It's not perfect by any means, but seems much fairer than before.
Nevertheless, there are many in international media who think that Russia’s Evgeni Plushenko and Julia Lipnitskaia were the beneficiaries of inflated scores during the team competition.
In an interview with USA Today, former United States Olympic coach Audrey Weisiger said she could not believe the program component scores Plushenko received in the men's free skating portion of the team competition on Sunday night.
