4. Wagner skated beautifully. She was graceful and elegant. She made one tiny mistake

To give another skater who actually fell a higher score is ludicrous.

I haven't even been watching the olympics but last night we turned it on for a few minutes and saw these performances. Wagner was robbed. I even thought the 15 year old was, while amazing, not as good as Wagner. The 15 year old was a little sloppy and didn't hold the elegant positions that Wagner and the Canadian skater before her did.
