Since the article makes a suggestion of some sort of "Alliance" for the "russians" on the part of Polish and Chinese judge, i decided to do some snooping.

Look carefully, suggestion was that Cadanians' didn't win because of lack of 5.9 scores from Polish and Chinese judges.
Well, they also got 5.8s from France !!! Those whoopee communists !!! And Ukraine - and we know about them, don't we ?
If you want to start looking for partial judges: look at canadian judge:
Gave russians lowest grades in both categories, and highest to canadians in both.
Same goes for Russian judge as well
Disclaimer:
I didn't watch it, i have better things to do.
But making stupid geo-political statements by national news agencies anooys a living toejam out of me.
Poland has nationalistic hatred of Russia that even US can't match. China is more afraid of Russia then of US. How the hell did that reporter figure this out ?
