Don't see how U.S.A. team out performed Canadian team in Ice Dance. Judging appeared very biased against Canadians. Want more transparent judging process. When the creator of the Finstep component weighs in saying he doesn't understand and in fact thinks U.S.A. were off on FInstep...one has to wonder@

Virtue and Moir skated best yesterday and today, skating needs to be judged based on what skaters put on the ice on the day of the competition, not based on history.

I don't know if the rumours in the French magazine were true, but I have suspected for a while that there has been some fixed scoring in not just ice dance, but in figure skating altogether. Therefore, I am signing this petition to increase fairness in scoring at figure skating events, not just the Olympics. It is really unfair to the athletes who train so hard for this moment, but then judges don't mark them fairly because of politics or plain favouritism. I hope that others will join the cause.

Tessa and Scott in this years 2014 Olympics deserve to win, it is evidenced in their impeccable programs. Stop this scandal, do not rob an athletes dedication and hard work.

saddened that judges can get away with this in an event that should be bringing people together from around the world.

The creator of the Finnstep said Virtue and Moir should've been placed in first after the short dance, so how is it they were dinged for that mark? And how is it possible for them to be dinged in other components when they skated flawlessly by all accounts? Not to mention, how could Davis and White be sooooooo far ahead of Virtue and Moir points-wise when the two teams were so close in every aspect? Something is rotten and something should be done to investigate. If not, I am done with Olympic figure skating becasue why watch a sport that is judged unfairly?

It was awful to watch such unfair judging for the banefit of american pair. It was obvious that Tessa and Scot is the pair unattainable for the others because they showed the top of the relationship between the man and the woman. If people prefer mechanic job instead of real love we'll become robots...

Please look into the accusations of fixing scores. Especially the short dance in Sochi between Virtue/Moir and Davis/White.

As a former Skate Canada Team member who represented our country all over the world I was cautiously hopeful when returning from a competition in Milan, Italy and hearing about the events of Salt Lake. I hoped it was going to be the catalyst for (positive) change. Those of us who skate do so because we love it, we ALL know it is biased, fixed and corrupt and it always had been. Regardless of the "lip service" the ISU told us. It breaks my heart that little boys and girls the world over have to learn life is unjust at such a young age, and it hurts even more that enrolment in such a beautiful sport will decline because who would want to participate in an activity that decides results long before the competition. Corruption has made my favourite sport a complete joke. :(

Unfair judging. Winners of gold medal weren't excellent in their programmes.
