American figure skater Ashley Wagner was very pleased when she finished her routine in Sochi on Saturday. She smiled and waved to the crowds while she awaited her score.

She was in high spirits after her performance, believing it to be worthy of a high score.

But things dramatically changed once she received her score of 63.10 from the judges. Her face couldn't hide her disappointment and disgust. She was even seen to mouth the word "bulls**t" while turning to her coach who was sitting beside her.

Her score put her in forth place, behind another skater who fell during her routine. 

There is already controversy surrounding Ashley Wagner being chosen to attend the Sochi Olympics. She was picked over Mirai Nagasu who finished third at the National Championships in Boston while Wagner finished fourth. Yet it was Wagner who was selected to join the team.
