Olympic GOLD STOLEN—French Judge’s Shocking Score

A petition demanding justice for American ice dancers robbed of Olympic gold by a French judge’s suspicious scoring has exploded to thousands of signatures, exposing yet another international scandal where our athletes get cheated while global elites circle the wagons.

French Judge’s Score Raises Corruption Questions

Madison Chock and Evan Bates finished second at the 2026 Winter Olympics ice dance competition, losing to French competitors Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron by a razor-thin margin of 0.43 points. The controversy centers on French judge Jezabel Dabouis, who scored the French pair more than seven points higher than the Americans—an extraordinarily wide margin that raises serious questions about bias. Five of the nine judges scored Chock and Bates higher in the free dance, yet the French judge’s outlier score proved decisive in denying our athletes the gold medal they earned.

Grassroots Movement Demands Accountability

American patriots refused to let this injustice slide. A petition calling for an investigation into the judging has gathered thousands of signatures, reflecting widespread outrage over what many see as blatant favoritism. Chock called for transparency and thorough vetting of judges, stating viewers deserve to understand how scores are determined. The couple is considering an appeal, though the International Skating Union has circled its wagons, claiming scoring variations are normal and expressing “full confidence” in the results. This dismissive response mirrors the arrogance we’ve seen from international bodies that prioritize protecting their own over basic fairness.

Cross-Sport Athletes Expose Systemic Problems

The controversy transcends figure skating, with Olympic athletes from multiple sports condemning the judging. U.S. Olympic gymnast MyKayla Skinner declared she is “sick of athletes not getting what they worked so hard for and judges cheating,” noting Chock and Bates delivered gold-medal caliber performances. Former U.S. gymnastics champion Jennifer Sey demanded more careful judge selection, vetting for corruption susceptibility, scoring transparency, and punishment for corrupt judges. Five-time skeleton Olympian Katie Uhlaender stated the Americans “deserved to be on top of the podium.” These athletes recognize what conservatives have long understood: international competitions often operate with double standards that disadvantage American excellence.

Pattern of Subjective Scoring Abuse

Figure skating’s subjective judging system has produced controversies throughout Olympic history, yet the ISU refuses meaningful reform. The sport relies on judges evaluating technical elements and artistic components, creating opportunities for bias that objective sports avoid. Chock and Bates won gold in team figure skating earlier at these same Olympics, proving their championship caliber. Yet when individual glory was on the line, a French judge’s implausible scoring handed victory to France by less than half a point. This mirrors broader concerns about globalist institutions where accountability disappears behind claims of expertise and process.

The petition movement represents Americans demanding transparency and fairness in international competition. Whether the ISU will acknowledge the problem or continue protecting its broken system remains to be seen. For Chock and Bates, years of sacrifice and training culminated in silver medals—not because they performed worse, but because the system allowed one judge’s suspicious scoring to override the majority opinion. This scandal underscores why conservatives distrust international bodies that lack accountability to the people they’re supposed to serve fairly.
