So stfu about shit when you have no clue what your talking about. He got bronze because the RULEBOOK specificly states, that in that case, he gets bronze.

Your not penalized for taking someone out with you when you've been taken out by no fault of your own. As it really isnt your fault.

And as far as mens USA hockey, your getting fucking stomped on.

No, he's referring to Ono - the Korean went down independantly while in first place and slid across the finish line after Ono, that would have given him a bronze medal. But, instead Apolo Ono was DQ'd for touching the Candian skater that fell down - his hand touched him in the turn, then was off him when he went down. But, the Candian judge DQ'd him.

So, the medals were Candian - Korean - Candian. Instead of Candian - US - Korean.

The skaters that fell were independent of each other falling. No FALL caused the other fall. They were saying Ono having his hand on the Candian skater caused him to fall.

As far as hockey - I'm just looking forward to a good match... our team has had luck on its side [so far].
