John Feinstein proposes that all sports requiring subjective judging be eliminated from the Olympics.

This is a non-starter. Figure skating and gymnastics are too popular. The source of the problem is not the sports themselves but the people in charge, who are perdominantly Europeans. They have an aristocratic and nationalistic mindset. They see nothing wrong with tinkering with scores for national pride, but they don't understand that medals awarded on anything other than merit don't bring honor, but cynicism. The Russian pair was as badly hurt by the apparent bias of the judging and the reports of vote trading, as were the Canadians, but the skating union officials, including many of the judges, don't seem to understand this.

I would decertify all of the present judges and the International Skating Union (ISU). No judge should represent a nation, and no nation should be allowed to nominate or provide judges. No judge should be allowed to score skaters repreenting his own country.
And there should be an independent commission charged with monitoring all judging for signs of corruption and bias.

We can't eliminate subjectivity from judging, but we can and must eliminate dishonesty.
