XX Olympic Winter Games

I realize this debate happens every time the Olypmics come around, but the whole "judgement" aspect bothers me. I can remember ISM and I being on opposite extremes of this debate. I do not think figure skating is easy in the least. I just am uncomfortable with judges deciding that his double axel was just a tad better than the other double axel, and that makes the difference. Opinion rather than a quantifiable (albeit miniscule) 100th of a second.
