Olympic sound-off question

What do you think about the Russian allegations of favoritism at the Olympics?

Kathy Ellis-Stumpfig - Bend, Ore.

"Well, I think with all Olympics, either Russia or the U.S. makes a stink. I'm not surprised by it."

Craig Ward - Salt Lake City

"I think it's false. I saw all the figure skating . . . My opinion is, it's pretty obvious who the winners were."

Carter Owens - Salt Lake City

"I think this is very unfortunate. Some questions have been raised, but I don't know what the solution is."

Erik Ross - Calgary, Alberta, Canada

"There's definitely been a problem with figure skating. Everyone knew it and saw it. Women's hockey may have had a problem too."

Nina Burgon - Salt Lake City (born in Russia)

"Yeah, I'm concerned about it. I'm a little upset that we (the Russians) weren't so perfect."

Shingi Inagi - Sendai, Japan

"I don't think there's much of a problem. Maybe some in figure skating, but other than that, I don't see any."
