Got a couple figure skating questions....

1) Does the 15 year old Russian girl get banned because she tested positive for doping? Seems like the committee is talking a LONG tome to make what should be an easy decision.

2) Does Johnny Weir and Tara Lupinski share the same wardrobe?

1. Yeah she should be banned.
2. No Johnny's wardrobe is more flamboyant then Tara's when I've seen them so far this yr.

1) Probably Not - I was reading an article that was talking about the International Doping Committee or something and since she is a minor chances are they won't punish her because "she may not have known what the trainers were putting in her body". Seems like they assume minors are naive.

The Russian teams have always operated in a shady manner. I don't believe she did this on her own... I believe her handlers knowingly did. Regardless of what she personally was aware of or not, she should absolutely be DQ'd.

I don't disagree. I was just standing what I read.

My favorite winter Olympics event is where they fly down the luge thing and fly into the sky with their ski's in a V form....have no idea what it's called but it always looks cool

Not exactly sure.
I don't get why that event is judged/scored, shouldn't it just be who went the farthest (legally of course, no wing material in the arm pits and crotch area).
Yeah, the better form would do better, except it would be better to be the fat guy because it would get you more speed going down the ramp.

They should have a “big air” spin-off sport where the ramp is just insanely huge and it’s all based on raw distance.

Ski Flying it's a thing there are only a few hills in the world used to be one in the U.P. of Michigan it's called Copper Peak, don't think they've jumped there for a few years. I saw it a few yrs back. It would be a big NOPE for me going off of it, cool to see though.
