no need honestly in his case. his rippon lutz scores so high compared to his UR 4Lz falls.
Didn't even try one.

There is quite a bit of out-of-corridor scoring here. Utterly fascinating. And in a surprise to noone, the U.S. judge is a total homer -- just didn't expect it to be that blatant! And are we sure the Australian judge isn't karne in disguise?

If I were Raf, I'd be giving Miss Australia a call about my student. Her scores for Adam border on Criminal...

Following up on Mrs P's post: it's really interesting to see that the Serbian judge loved Adam and hated Jason; the Aussie judge loved Jason and hated Adam; the Turkish judge definitely preferred Adam to Jason, the US judge definitely preferred Jason to Adam, the Japanese and New Zealand judges slightly preferred Adam to Jason, and the Canadian judge slightly preferred Jason to Adam.
The Serbian judge's scores were so out of line for both Adam and Jason that almost all of them were probably thrown out, as were the Aussie judge's low scores for Adam.
The most interesting to me: the US judge who placed Jason highest here was chair of the Worlds selection committee - which of course bypassed him for the World Team.
lol, mura 5+ points behind on pcs? with a 36? Who are the judges kidding? Unless the only criteria for components was costumes.
but... jason was just coming back from injury then and had not competed in US nationals right? or am i not remembering things properly? i wouldn't extrapolate on this judge's behaviour based on jason's condition a year ago.... nor do i hope that judges are now being called fan of skater a or b... what about judging the event as it happens? what if that judge today thought jason was better than Adam in PCS today....but at the next competition believes that Adam is better ?
For instance, I prefer Jason's SP to Adam's... but Adam today performed a bit better IMHO.... do you think it's possible that judges may really judge what's happening on the ice... on a specific day
Just went on a watching spree. Thoughts for my four men:
Jordan: Looking altogether more together than at this time last year, really fought to get the triple off that combo, and pleased he hung on for the level at the end. Love this program for him. Crossing fingers for 4CC TES minimum in the FS.
Andrew: Gorgeous. Love this program so, so much. Thought he probably got stiffed a few points here, they could have pushed that to 65+ IMBO. That 3Lz is like butter.
Jason: QUAD IS GETTING SO CLOSE! What resistance I had to this program is rapidly softening and melting, probably because he moves with such beauty and power through it. Can't wait to see what it'll score the day he hits that quad.
Brendan: I was afraid of how this idea might (not) work when the music was announced, but I am absolutely over this program. Give it a little more time for him to get into it and it will be perfect. I noticed they've taken out the second quad for now, but I'm sure it will go back in. Gorgeous 4T and 3A.
Not Only is Jason's Quad so close...I've been at the venue all the last few days and he's been absolutely NAILING the quad in practice, including the SP program run through yesterday. Just beautifully done. I caught that one and another beautiful one from practice on vid....so it is NOT that he can't do them. I didn't know that until I saw it with my own eyes.
