Many expressed their frustration regarding the controversial judging in Olympic ice dancing after Canadians Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir received a silver medal after setting a world record and later losing to Americans Meryl Davis and Charlie White.

Getting upset about Ice Dancing results is like getting upset about who won the Royal Rumble. #moir #virtue #predetermined
