This infuriates me.
First of all, people are making the assumption that since Sid is yelling and passionate, he knows what he's talking about. He doesn't and he even mentions it.
Then he keeps referring to the baseless, rumoured story from L'Equipe and stating that the result was somehow shocking. It was not. If anyone has followed the sport at all since Vancouver (and I have for 15+ years) they will know that the prediction wasn't profound at all. It would be like me saying on June that the finals of the Stanley Cup playoffs would be Chicago vs Boston and Chicago would probably win. We knew who the top 3 team event finishers would be.
We also know that Davis/White have been the better ice dance team since the 2012 Skate Canada International tournament.
Again, I point to the fact that the results are posted online. Choose the supposed corrupt judge in the short dance since the marks are pretty uniform.
