South Korea slip up in Sochi figure skating complaint


SEOUL (Reuters) - The International Skating Union (ISU) has dismissed South Korea's complaint over the figure skating judging panel used at the Sochi Games that awarded Russia's Adelina Sotnikova the gold medal ahead of defending Olympic champion Kim Yuna.

At the Feb. 7-23 Games in the Black Sea resort city, 23-year-old Kim was beaten by 5.48 points by Sotnikova, who secured Russia's first ladies singles gold despite a flawless performance from South Korea's most popular athlete.
