THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO POST ABOUT: Steven den Beste picked up on these weird comments made in the swirl of the Skategate that I noticed too:

[T]onight the head of the French Olympic team told the Associated Press that French judge Marie Reine Le Gougne had acknowledged feeling pressure before casting her vote for the Russian team.

Didier Gailhaguet denied any wrongdoing on the part of the French skating federation and said of Le Gougne: "Some people close to the judge have acted badly and have put someone who is honest and upright, but emotionally fragile, under pressure. She is a fragile person and I think she has been somewhat manipulated."

Weird that the guy is psychologizing her by way of explanation. Maybe, weirdly French.
