Hey, bickering about the results/calls is part of the fun in watching sports.

Anyway, I think the judges should have called for a
rematch. There were just way too many things going on in that last turn.
I do think Apolo pushed that Canadian. He said it was a "cushion defensive" move, but he's been called out so many times for cheating (whether he gets disqualified or not) that he should think about his integrity along with the results, and maybe not put up his hand anymore for ambiguous calls. I mean, he was last place in the last turn and his hand touched 3rd place, so of course it looks suspicious. If he did purposely touch the Canadian, then he should learn to admit defeat graciously.
And, I'd heard of Apolo and his history with the Koreans, so I may have had a bias against him, but I actually was warming up to him while watching this Olympics until today. There's just so much foul play around him, but he always gets lucky! In almost every crash, he evades it from behind and wins a medal! And I thought he was charming (and pretty handsome admittedly =_=) but I see now that he's just very sly!!
eek
As for Shibek and that Canadian that won first place (I should really memorize their names =_=), it was just too controversial! I think a rematch would've been a fair call.
crying Considering the commotion behind them caused by Apolo, it looked like the Canadian lightly touched Shibek first which may be the reason why it looked like Shibek held his foot for a second after.
First that darn Hosuk pushes him out of the race, and now this.
crying I think Shibek deserved the gold.
