But is she actually on the podium there? It looks more like a posed photo after the ceremony (which wouldn't be taking away from the gold and silver winners).

I don't think the show would have said it if it was just a photo op for her. The segment was on sore losers and they said she was in the number one spot for that because she was on the podium and took away from the gold medalist moment.

No idea.

No idea.

Obviously she isn't on the podium as she is holding two medals.

What an exciting final in Men's aerials! Speedy gets a bronze and props to Alexsei from Belarus on a fine gold!

Not so much an 'obviously' considering what's being discussed is that she supposedly pulled out her gold medal during the medal ceremony and on the podium where she received her bronze.

Huh. I thought he took silver and the Asian skier took bronze...

 

[OK!]

I have no idea if she was actually on the podium at the time but if she was, that was SUPREMELY tacky.

And the Belarus guy was tugging on Speedy's flag, as if saying, "where's our flag for me to drape over my shoulders?".

Having not seen that particular ceremony, I can't say that she did it.... All I did was find a pic of her with the two medals. It may be a later taken posed picture...

You can say that again. I still haven't seen anything definite that she did actually do that though. I really want to believe that she has a little more class than that.

Yes, Speedy got the Silver and the guy from China got Bronze

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Yes, Speedy got the Silver and the guy from China got Bronze

OK! Thanks!

OK, so I watched the video of the Super-G medal ceremony. She did pull the gold medal out after all 3 athletes received their medals and the national anthem had been played when the 3 medalists got together for a photo.

It's in the final 30 seconds of the video. I'm glad to see she didn't pull it out right away, but that's still completely disrespectful.

Looks like it wa after the actual ceremony. But in the group picture with her, Mancuso and the winner...she has the gold around her neck AND the bronze.

Way to go Billy Demong and Johnny Spillane!! Gold and Silver in Nordic combined!!

Totally agree.
