I thought the Russians were very fine; but the Canadian couple was superior. I noticed however, that the commentators made loads of disparaging and positive comments throughout the other pairs' programs but were virtually silent when Sale and Pelletier were skating until the very end; kind of eerie. Then they were cheering as baldly as the audience! and then of course were righteously upset when the Russians won (unfairly I'll agree).

Very classy of the Russians to visibly act somewhat embarrassed and say "I'm sorry" to the silver winners on the pedestal...
