Olympics
A bit of good news here at intermission. The 2002 Olympics were rocked by scandal when the Canadian figure skating tandem was awarded a silver medal despite having skated a near-flawless long program, certainly superior to that of their rivals, gold medalists Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze. An investigation revealed that French judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne had sold her soul for more favorable voting for the French duo in the upcoming ice dancing competition. As a result, the Canadians were presented with a gold medal. While thrilled with the victory, the couple did suffer the agony of divorce eight years later. Name either skater.
