 The male half of the Russian pair said that he had made a mistake and their 
marks should have been lower. Who made the quote you used? Because it 
obviously wasn't the skaters themselves. He all but said that the Canadians 
should have got the gold (although you couldn't expect him to say it 
outright, not really)
 
 And what time do the girls go? Utah time or London time please. I can work 
it out from Utah time easily enough

    It was the head of the Russian Figure Skating Federation, Valentin 
Piseyev who made those statements, to Russian NTV television.   I feel sorry 
for the Russian pair skaters, they are darned if they do, and darned if they 
don't...it wasn't their fault that this all happened.      
    According to USA Today Olympic edition, the women's short program is on 
Feb. 19th, from 7:15-11:30pm eastern (I believe that is 5:15-9:30 mountain 
<Salt Lake> time).
    Feb.21st, women's fee program, 7:45-midnight eastern (again, should be 
5:45-10 mountain time)
     Women's exhibition, Feb. 22, 8:45-11:15 eastern (6:45-9:15).  Sorry if 
I'm off on the mountain time, but hubby tells me it's correct.     Hope that 
helps!  Jen
