A typical example of the controversial judging based on impressions is the figure skating pairs free skate at the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002. Russia won and Canada took the silver medal, but it was later discovered that France had made a secret agreement with Russia to let Russia win the figure pairs in exchange for letting their own ice dance pair win.

This led to a change in the scoring system to the current one, which sets standard points for jumps and other skills. Snowboarding has the same problem as figure skating did in the past. It can be said that the referee system is immature because of its short history since it became an official event of the Olympics.

At the Beijing Olympics, there were some incomprehensible “rulings” in figure skating, such as ROC’s Kamila Waliyeva (15), who was suspected of doping, but was hastily allowed to compete in the individual event. event at short notice.

This is because women’s jumping has a short history, is not popular outside of Japan Sponsors are weak, and the only way to make a living is to win. There was a part of the competition that was overlooked, because the people involved also felt that they had to somehow make the competition more exciting.

Each country has voiced their anger at this ruling, but they have not formally protested because they know they were violating the rules. Takanashi was a popular athlete and had a lot of sponsors. Even if she thought it would be difficult, she had to say ,’I’m going for the gold medal. The pressure of the Olympics must have been enormous.
