Talk:Figure skating at the 2014 Winter Olympics

Please write talk page before you delete
We have section name Competition firsts and world records as Figure skating at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Why we don't add world records (ISU Best Scores) to article? --Berfu (talk) 19:56, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Other sports add their world records to article. (Swimming at the 2012 Summer Olympics, Athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics)

Keep article
Although now less than four years in advance, this is the next competition. Eventually this article would have to be created anyway, and the red links will, in time, be attended to.

Team Event -- WHY WAS THIS DELETED FROM THE PAGE?
JimmB (talk) 03:00, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Because this page is the summary for all figure skating events. Details belong at Figure skating at the 2014 Winter Olympics – Team trophy where this information is presented in a slightly different, but more coherent fashion.  Ravendrop 08:00, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Controversy
Shouldn't this page mention the controversy of the alleged "fix" that deprived Kim Yuna of her gold medal? Also, South Korea has filed an official complaint about this matter. This information is significant enough that it should appear in this, of all articles. Thoughts? Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 22:54, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * My thought is that the current section on that is to weakly sourced. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:32, 23 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I added a few sources. This is "big news", so sources should not be too hard to find.   Thanks.   Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 16:02, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

The controversy is detailed on the Figure skating at the 2014 Winter Olympics – Ladies' singles page. This article just has summary and link. Adding a dozen paragraphs here makes editing the issue harder since then you have edit multiple Wikipedia articles whenever there is an update, so I believe we should just keep a short summary. Thoughts? Thanks, Kirin13 (talk) 19:34, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Asians sweeping men's podium
I think stating that ethnic Asians (Yuzuru Hanyu is Japanese, Patrick Chan of Canada is ethnic Chinese, and Denis Ten of Kazakhstan is ethnic Korean) sweeping the podium in any figure skating event at the Olympics is a first. Heritoctavus (talk • contribs) told me that this is biased. My response is: Recognized that an minority group has achieved something is normal. E.g. in USA news we see "first African American ...", women in technology, "first gay General", etc. It's news worthy. Figure skating has been a historically white sport. I don't think Asians have won a single figure skating Olympic medal before the 1990's. The fact they swept the podium is not bias, it's an accomplishment. Since Heritoctavus never responded to me, I've added it back to the article. If you believe this should be removed, please reply here and lets have a discussion before editing. Thanks, Kirin13 (talk) 07:49, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Plushenko & Lipnitskaya records
There has been a question of whether to include the Plushenko & Lipnitskaya records. Heritoctavus (talk) contends that they are not first and must be removed. However, this section is records and firsts. Thanks, Kirin13 (talk) 01:15, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Evgeni Plushenko (RUS) tied the record of four Olympic figure skating medals.
 * He's not the first to get four medals, but he has tied the record. Thus my vote for inclusion.
 * Yulia Lipnitskaya (RUS) became the second youngest Olympic gold medalist in figure skating, behind Maxi Herber who won pair skating at the 1936 Winter Olympics. Under modern age eligibility rules, Herber would have been 99 days too young to skate at the Olympics.
 * Lipnitskaya has now set the record for youngest Olympic gold medalist under the modern rules. Herber's record will stand all-time because modern rules would not have allowed her to skate in the Olympics. Lipnitskaya is also the first skating ladies - Herber skated pairs. Thus my vote for inclusion.

Nobody from the Netherlands?
Nobody from the Netherlands? I was rather surprised to see that there are no entrants from the Netherlands in figure skating at all. Is this a mistake? The Netherlands has been hot on ice skating for a long time, figure skating as well as speed skating. In fact, a few Dutch people have won medals in figure skating in the past. Even countries like Belgium had one contestant, Turkey two, and Australia four. Please double-check this. As a matter of fact, the Dutchwoman Sjoukje Dijkstra won the gold medal in figure skating in 1964. 47.215.211.16 (talk) 05:47, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
