Ya I generally avoid anything that has a judge involved. Folks just competing against each other without any "interpretation" .
Maybe folks don't need coaches either!

Kramer sticks with coach despite blunder
Associated Press, 02.24.10, 02:24 PM EST
RICHMOND, British Columbia -- Dutch speedskater Sven Kramer will stick with his coach despite the blunder that cost him the gold medal at 10,000 meters.
Kramer said Wednesday that Gerard Kemkers has been instrumental in leading him to the 5,000-meter Olympic gold medal early in the games and a slew of European and world titles over the past five years.
Kramer was widely expected to win the 10,000 Tuesday. Then Kemkers sent him into the wrong lane more than halfway through the race. The mistake, so rare it defies belief, resulted in immediate disqualification.
South Korea's Lee Seung-hoon won the gold medal.
