Rocky: [Addressing the Soviet crowd, translated into Russian line by line by announcer]
Rocky: During this fight, I've seen a lot of changing, in the way youse feel about me, and in the way I feel about youse. In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that's better than twenty million. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and youse can change, everybody can change!
Rocky: [loud applause, even by the politburo]

Why are the silver and bronze flags at the same height?

Was hoping Dale Bagg Smith would have qualified, too bad he failed to advance.

It is disrespectful to fly flags of equal bearing at different heights (you can fly the Canadian flag above the Alberta flag, but should never fly the Canadian flag above the US flag, for example).

Tradition allows for the flag of the victorious nation alone to be raised slightly higher than the others for the medal presentation.

No kidding. The thing about Men's Moguls is there is a bigger separation between the top talent and the mid-tier talent compared to the Women. So we are going to see a ton of people just going for it. Cavet (FRA) is 36th in the world but is definitely going to make the top 12 with a 22.97.
