I thought this was really well-done! A balanced account of the judging scandal and goings-on at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, providing an in-depth, behind the scenes look at the stories of the top three teams in the pairs event. Given the current Jamie Salé situation, I don't think anyone can really approach this book the same way they did previously - but it is important history nonetheless and the author did their homework and crafted an outstanding narrative.
