well there's harsh and harsh... and though I read MIM's post with lots of interest, I come to the conclusions that if that judging would be applied, it would to other skaters as well... scores in the low eights for Patrick would necessarily translate to scores in the low 7s for others like Jin... perhaps even lower.
You know, I find Boyang a very exciting skater and I would have liked to see him at GPF like many others... however, if you have watched his Skate America outing, would you really want him to qualify????
Look at Ashley, she won skate America.... everyone thought she would go to GPF .. but she had two bad programs here and she most likely is not going to GPF. There's no real big drama about it... I think it's perhaps harder to understand for people that Jin is not going because he did have a good competition here.... but people forget way too easily... I mean people, including BOP forget so easily that they forget when a skater does a wonderful short program and manages to hold on to their lead despite a imperfect LP.... there are two programs in figure skating... the SP and the LP.... and for GPF, there are two outings.... those who qualify need to perform well enough in BOTH outings....
A bit of "What have you done for me lately?".
