22 Us V*?╜a?╜ Rvr-w '"'iri^i Tuesday, Feb. 13, 1968 ?√ßRIDDLED WITH POLITICS' Skating Judges Too Critical? GRFVnFLr They're the nirw old men and women-of the Winter Olympic*, and no one is more maligned, more feared, more cultivated and more pampered They're the jude.es of the h> ure skating competition "They can take a dislike to you if they don't like the way you fix your hair, and they can mark you down for it," said one or the lady competitors. "This sport always has been riddled with politics." comment ed one official of the American team. "You put your whole career in their hands " A Japanese newspaper, the Tokyo Shimbun. became so enraged at the judging in the women's individual event las, week that it called tbt "horrible" and added 'Is this sport?" ; The judges are a strange and mysterious group. They ?╜?tand around the ice in long coats and with their arms loaded with papers and rating cards. In the school figures, in winch the competitors trace intricate designs on the ice. they get down on their hands and knees to examine the tracings.

Then they line up and flash cA>ci. one for 3 number and other for tenfhs of a degree The scores com* out 5 4, ,V2, 4.8, etc. The ultimate is six The numbers are added the highest and lowest scores being dropped to prevent bias?╟÷and the figure skaters are graded accordingly The crowd always boos. Only an exceptionally good score such as that of Peggy Fleming or Emmerich Panzer?╟÷gets a favorable reaction. Often the crowd becomes so violent vou frar they might start throwing chairs on th? rink. The iron curtain judges the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Romania, etc almost always: downgrade the Western skaters Thp Western .nidges his hack hy low-rating the Reds The International Figure Skating Federation recently took note of the discrepancies in judging and called for the end of politics The plea apparently fell on deaf ears. "Vou have to watch your manners." said one competitor. "Vou must be sure to smile ai the judges and treat them H* iston SlMl T ping F< U k tjk (UPl) _ Rous i. j j .ntinuf to OUtSJH-RI.
