Why so?
I can’t speak about all competitions in last 50 years of Ice Dance. This season I made analysis of one Junior and two Seniors Grand Prix and my analysis is described somewhere here.
During those three events I found mistakes in Technical panel‘s decision and I wrote about it.
During those three events I wrote about, it happened twice in Zagreb and Kelowna that Russian Dance Team or Teams got lower Levels than they should get.
During those events it happened that couples from another country than Russia got higher levels and marks than deserved – USA, Canada, Ukraine, Hungary.
I understand that my analysis are too long to be read by everybody, but if you put some more effort to read it, you would notice that there were also “poor“ Spanish couple and “poor“ American couple who should get higher Components then they got.
And speaking concretely about senior Grand Prix, I didn’t think and I never wrote that Russian Dance Team should win here in Canada or in America.
Judging if not correct is wrong in any case no matter what country the couple or judges/Technical specialists are from. It is not my fault that Russian couples were those who were underscored here….and it is not my fault that it was US/Canadian/Italian Technical panel which gave them unfairly low score.
I would like to see clear judging. Any problem with it?
That was especially obvious at Zagreb. Too bad tech panel still have failed to drown M/Z there, and no US dance team will be skating at JGPF. :no:
