Sorry, but I just felt like fuming. Is it just me, or are the Russians turning out to be real crybabies?

Russians Protest, Demand Gold Medal for Slutskaya

story.news.yahoo.com

I watched all of the final group of figure skaters. I'm no expert in this sport, but I felt Sarah Hughes clearly won the long program. Slutskaya skated better than Kwan (yes, my heart sank when Kwan fell), but her program looked rather weak compared to Hughes.

I don't know enough about Russia's other grievances with the Games, except that there are many. But this latest complaint is just a perfect example of poor sportsmanship. And that makes me doubt that any of Russia's other complaints have any substance whatsoever.
