Great Britain cheated out of a silver medal by incompetent judges:
Sochi 2014: GB's Elise Christie misses out on Olympic silver
Christie disqualified in chaotic final

Elise Christie missed out on an Olympic medal after receiving a penalty as the women's 500m short track final descended into chaos at Sochi 2014.
Christie, Italy's Arianna Fontana and South Korea's Park Seung-hi collided early in the race.
The Scot, 23, recovered first to cross the line behind China's Li Jianrou for silver, but was penalised for causing the crash and demoted to eighth.
Christie's preferred event, the 1,000m, takes place next week at the Games.
Reaching the final four of the Olympic 500m had been an unexpected bonus for Christie, who had never reached a senior final over that distance in her career until this point.
But as she tried to overtake her rivals on the inside of the straight, she failed to make her move in time and collided with Fontana and Park while trying to correct her error.
The penalty saw Christie demoted to eighth, below the four 'B' finalists, and elevated Fontana to silver ahead of Park.
