markus rogan.

[raises glass]

that, my friends, is what happened to class -- markus got it all.

[eta: dudes! i was just speculating, but now bob reports that markus said if the disqualification had stood and they'd tried to offer him the gold medal, he doesn't know if he could in good conscience have accepted it.

Yeah, i was very impressed by his immediate "WTF? Dude, go protest that, that's wrong". VERY cool, and entirely sincere and heartfelt.

and bob quoted him back in the studio, did you see? "For a moment I thought about gold, and it was a beautiful thing. But you know what? It's fair this way."

[entertains what-if thought that if the DQ had stood, markus would have refused to move up, taken the silver anyway and left the top podium empty][but of course the guy in fourth/third would probably not have thought so highly of that]
