일부 외신, '판정에 동의 하십니까?'
21일(한국시간) 끝난 소치 동계올림픽 피겨스케이팅 여자 싱글 채점의 공정성에 대해 외국 언론들이 의문을 계속 제기하고 있다.프랑스 스포츠 전문지 레퀴프는 이날 피겨스케이팅 결과를 전하는 기사 제목에 '스캔들'이라는 표현을 썼다.이날 경기에서는 러시아의 아델리나 소트니코바가 쇼트와 프리 합계 224.59점으로 219.11점의 김연아를 제치고 금메달을 목에 걸었다.레퀴프는 이날 경기 결과에 '스캔들'이라는 표현을 쓰면서 소트니코바에게 금메달을 안겨준 채점이 계획적으로 이뤄진 것 아니냐는 '음모론'에 불을 지폈다.미국 경제 전문지 월스트리트저널 역시 이날 여자 피겨스케이팅 결과를 실시간으로 전하는 라이브 블로그에서 김연아의 점수가 발표되자 '충격'이라고 표현했다.그러면서 '김연아는 은메달에 만족하지 못하는 것으로 보인다'는 글도 뒤이어 올렸다.미국 일간지 시카고 트리뷴은 "소트니코바가 심판 판정 덕에 러시아 선수로는 최초로 여자 피겨 금메달리스트가 됐다"며 "이는 피겨스케이팅 사상 가장

김연아 '마지막 은퇴 경기 만족스러워'
2014 소치 동계올림픽에서 '클린 연기'를 펼치고도 아쉬운 은메달에 그친 '피겨 여왕' 김연아(24)는 선수로서 마지막 경기를 큰 실수 없이 마친 것에 더 큰 의미를 뒀다.김연아는 21일(한국시간) 러시아 소치 아이스버그 스케이팅 팰리스에서 열린 피겨 여자 싱글 프리스케이팅을 마친 뒤 메달리스트 기자회견에서 "연기가 끝나고 여러 가지 기분이 교차했다. 홀가분하다는 생각이 가장 컸다"면서 "마지막 은퇴 경기에서 실수 없이 마친 것에 만족스럽다"고 소감을 밝혔다.전날 열린 쇼트프로그램에서 74.92점을 얻어 근소하게 앞선 1위에 오른 김연아는 프리스케이팅에서 144.19점을 받아 합계 219.11점을 받았다.그러나 한 번의 점프 실수를 저지른 아델리나 소트니코바(러시아)가 프리스케이팅에서만 무려 149.95점을 받으며 종합 224.59점으로 앞지른 탓에 김연아는 은메달을 목에 걸었다.이날 김연아는 한 번의 실수도 없는 깨끗한 프리스케이팅 연기를 보였지만, 오히려 한 차례 점프 실수를

망연자실 아사다, 트리플 악셀의 '저주'
은퇴 무대에서 금메달을 노리던 아사다 마오(24 )도, 맹목적으로 아사다를 응원한 일본 언론도 망연자실했다. 아사다는 20일(한국시간) 러시아 소치 아이스버그 스케이팅 팰리스에서 열린 피겨 여자 싱글 쇼트프로그램에서 55.51점을 받아 16위에 그쳤다. 아사다의 결과를 전한 모든 일본 언론이 '최악'이라고 표현할 정도로 기대 이하 의 성적이었다. 스포츠닛폰은 "선두(김연아 74.92)에 20점 가까이 차이나는 절망적인 결과"라고 했고, 니칸스포츠는 "믿을 수 없는 실수를 반복했다"고 전했다. 아사다 스스로 느끼는 절망감은 더욱 컸다. 경기 후 침울한 표정으로 키스앤크라이존에 들어선 그는 점수를 확인한 뒤 고개 를 푹 숙인 채 밖으로 걸어나갔다. 아사다는 일본 취재진과의 인터뷰에서 "나도 아직 모르겠다"고 말했다. 산케이스포츠는 "마음의 정리를 하지 못한 아사다는 말을 잇지 못했다"고 당시 분위기를 전했다. 아사다는 힘겹
