Did you see his face when he didn't win? :lol:

Best face ever!

The spirit of the games was definetely not with this dark one.

Bilodeau's reaction brought a tear to my eye.

You can't totally blame him for moving to another country to seek better support for your own effort. It must be tough to put in so much training everyday and live off of cheerios every morning. But his business practice of causing inconvenience to others for the sake of his own benefit in such a great magnitude is highly questionable

Aussies might protest it. Coach doesn't think Bilodeau was capable of those scores

I would think they missed the window for protesting a result. In most sports you have a specified amount of time after the athlete's finish to file a protest. After that specified period of time your SOL- unless of course you fail drug testing.

That would be some quality whining if they do.

I dunno - I saw both runs, and Bilodeau was just as tight, had a faster time and pulled just as good, if not bigger air.

In fact, "Icy-Aussie" had a little break in form right before the first kicker - that would have been enough for Bilodeau to win right there.
