From perezhilton.com



apparently after the russians finished this dance routine, they got slammed for being insensitive to the culture of the australian aborigines. the routine was choreographed after observing the aborigines' dancing.

if i were to think of a reason, i would believe that pple got offended probably because they conveniently milked the aboriginal culture, packaged it into a skating routine, used the aboriginal motifs for their costumes, made the bodysuits a little darker, all for trying to clinch a gold by being "different" from the usual elegant/romantic genre. (doesn't matter how accurately they portray the culture!)

but that was some kick ass skating!!!!
