Controversies
After the final scores were made official, journalistic questions were raised in the press regarding whether Adelina Sotnikova's performance deserved higher scores than the performances of Kim Yuna and Carolina Kostner, who won the silver medal and the bronze medal at the event respectively.[14][15]
Official responses
On 21 February 2014, the International Skating Union (ISU) issued a statement affirming that all rules and procedures were applied during the competition and no official protest had been filed by any country concerning the results of the competition.[16]
Media reports on 22 February 2014 stated that the Korean Olympic Committee has lodged an official inquiry request to the International Skating Union to investigate the judging process of this competition.[17] However, nothing further was heard for a month and neither the Sochi Olympic Committee nor the International Skating Union had acknowledged receiving any formal protest concerning the outcome of the competition from any participating nation.
On 21 March 2014, news articles stated that the Korean Olympic Committee intends to file an official complaint to the International Skating Union for the reason of violation of ethics (ISU regulation Article 24). This is based on the composition of the judging panel, which included Alla Shekhovtsova and Yuri Balkov.[18][19]
As of 21 March 2014 the International Skating Union has acknowledged receiving the official complaint.
Criticism of the results
USA Today reported that a high-ranking Olympic figure skating official said the judging panel was clearly slanted towards Sotnikova.[20] Journalists questioned the appointments of the judges for the event, which included the Russian judge Alla Shekhovtsova, the wife of the former president and the current general director of Figure Skating Federation of Russia Valentin Piseev, and Yuri Balkov, the Ukrainian judge who was suspended for a year after the allegation of match fixing in 1998 Winter Olympics.[21] Moreover, Shekhovtseva was photographed hugging Sotnikova in the arena, raising another question on the fairness of the results.[22]
Katarina Witt, the two-time Olympic figure skating champion was stunned by the result, and she claimed that Kim was the true gold medalist, saying "there would be no change for the result, but we must have a discussion on the judgment.[23] Michael Weiss, an American two-time world bronze medalist, stated "But, couldn't disagree more that Yuna and Sotnikova had basically same component marks?...in both short and long? Home field inflation." Ryan Bradley, an American figure skater who won silver and bronze at Skate Canada and America, asked "Are we just going to ignore that she (Sotnikova) botched the landing of her 3 jumps and pretend she was perfect?"[24]
"The Wire" stated that scores given to Adelina Sotnikova relatively high compared to other skaters. The article notes that one judge gave Sotnikova +3 grade of execution (GOE) on all except one element.[25] In South Korea, the top trending topics on Twitter after the event included 홈쿠킹 (Home Cooking), #overscoring, 가산점 (Bonus Points), 편파판정 (Biased judgment) and #yunawasrobbed.[26] An unofficial petition on Change.org asking for an open investigation and demanding rejudgement has reached over 2 million signatures.[27]
After the Olympics, Former figure skating judge Sonia Bianchetti wrote a review on Inside Skating website, addressing inconsistencies with GOEs and PCS scores, favoring Russian skaters Adelina Sotnikova and Julia Lipnitskaya during the short program in Sochi 2014 Olympics. [28]
Inside Skating released another article titled "Letter to ISU office holders: “People deserve to know if a mistake was made", addressing the faults in technical calls at Sochi Olympics. Adelina's triple triple combination jump should have received wrong edge and under rotation; this actually means that Adelina has one less triple jump. Also, Step sequence levels were not correctly awarded for Yuna kim, as she deserved level 4, whereas Adelina should have received level 3. [29]
