Seems to me that there should be a impartial judge who steps in for pairs that match countries with a judge.
If the US files a complaint, there will be an investigation, but likely that will be the end of it. I knew the fix was in after the rhythm dance. Such a shame for Chock and Bates. This will be their final Olympics. Cizeron won before with Gabby Pakadakis. He didn't need another gold medal.
The French couple made a mistake, albeit a minor one, but it was enough to be noticed by the commentators. The Americans were pretty much perfect, but were scored nine points lower (that's a huge margin in figure skating) by the French judge. I don't see how that doesn't warrant an investigation. That's the textbook definition of cheating.
Ice dance was France's only shot at a figure skating medal. They won't sniff the podium in any of the other categories.

He has a substantial lead doesn’t he? If so, it will be hard to cheat unless he falls apart during the long program.

That's true and he has a 5.0 lead.

There was more than one, sadly. His foot slipped multiple times on a pass as well. It was sloppy.
The larger issue is they received max execution points on some elements that they definitely didn’t perform perfectly. Where Chock and Bates got underscored in some they did absolutely nail. So frustrating.
Old school ice skating fans know the French judges are shite.

Yep. They screwed the Canadians out of the pairs gold medal in SLC. There was an investigation and duplicate gold medals were awarded to both the Russians(who the French judge cheated for) and the Canadian pair. They should do the same thing for Chock and Bates.
