BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: More now on the latest developments we have on the skating controversy that's drawing considerable attention out at the Winter Games. Skating officials say the decision from the judges on Monday that gave the gold to Russia is final, that will not change. Rusty Dornin watching it all and listening right now to a briefing that has been well under way for about an hour, right, Rusty?</s>RUSTY DORNIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: It has. I mean, reporters from around the world have been grilling the president of the International Skating Union for more than an hour. And the president, Octavio Cinquanta, has -- keeps saying over and over again that the decision will stand. He does cite in cases of doping that there have been -- the results have been reversed, but that there is no precedent in any way that would cause the results to change in this case. He says that the counsel will take it up in four days on the 18th. When asked if that shouldn't be done sooner considering the outcry, he said he didn't really see any reason why they should do that. He did say he would give some proposals to the counsel that hopefully that will improve judging performance. That is all he will say about it. He will not give any details about it. He says he's sort of bristled at the idea that the credibility of the International Skating Union was being challenged. He felt that that was unfair. So, so far, no indications that anything is going to change and it looks like we'll be having to wait a few days before we find out what this assessment of the results of the skating will be -- Bill.</s>HEMMER: Nonetheless, it gives us a whole lot to talk about. Rusty Dornin, thanks, live in Salt Lake.
