the 94 controversy

Is it not appropriate to mention that there is some controversy regarding the 94 olympics. Clearly it would be inappropriate to say there was some kind of cheating/judge misconduct, since that has not been proven. But it seems odd that the issue isn't even mentioned in this article; it shouldn't be libel or such to say that there was a controversy and suspicion that some misconduct occurred, right? Kengwen 02:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC) Edit: britannica online mentions the controversy (http://www.britannica.com/ebc/article-9125260). I'm just saying, I think it would be appropriate to mention it here; that, in fact, the lack of mention makes this article less than completely accurate. imo.

Well, because Torvill and  Dean did not mean doesnt mean there was a controversy. I think Grishuk and Platov really deserved the first place. And Usova Zhilin were not bad either.

If it helps, there was massive uproar over it, the rumours being that they didn't want to give gold to the Brits twice in a row. Of course, this is unsubstantiated so it can't go into the article, but I mention it only because the response in the UK was a national newspaper giving T&D honourary gold medals, which the couple accepted. That can go into the article since it is fact and can probably be backed up if someone is willing to look for a citation. Sky83 (talk) 10:39, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Crissy Manley

I have followed the careers of T and D since the 80's, and have never heard of Crissy Manley let alone a susposed feud with Torvill, surely this has no place in this article.

I'm mystified too, because fourth place went to Blumberg and Seibert (USA) - see http://www.la84foundation.org/OlympicInformationCenter/OlympicReview/1984/ore197/ORE197f.pdf Blumberg was Californian so it can't be a name switch Grahambrack (talk) 09:00, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
