:huh: They  were recognized. At the medal ceremony.

I still haven't watched the Free Skating, but sending either the fifth or ninth-placed finisher in the overall competition to the Olympics would send an extremely poor message as to the value of Nationals. If I were on the selection committee I would vote to send the top three and hope that...

Even when Congress is functioning properly (which it isn't right now), it enacts legislation to naturalize citizens only in exceptional circumstances, such as for humanitarian reasons or, especially when normal pathways to citizenship have been unavailable. Congress does not expedite citizenship...

Why are you so rude? And is this how you treat people offline? While everyone here appreciates the work you put into your many astute posts on rankings, seedings, and the like, I doubt there is anyone here who likes reading things such as what I have quoted above.

The part that baffles me is this bit in bold face: I am confident that Canada has some principle of due process requiring that an accused be advised of his accuser's identity. But to provide an accused with his accuser's contact information makes no sense at all, particularly given the nature...

Adam Siao Him Fa's surname is Siao Him Fa, not Siao. Calling him "Siao" is like calling Jennifer Janse van Rensburg "Janse." [/PEDANTIC]

💡 If the Shibutanis stay together and compete next season, they should skate to Alanis Morisette. It would demonstrate that they aren't dependent on Coldplay.
