[Ender]

But he got the largest green star. And the best watch. that has to count for something, right?

Maybe it's having to wear the novelty tie?

He was thinking how to pack it home... too heavy, too big..

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

Such a messy FS, but congratulations to Misha for having THE performance of the evening. So well deserved and I'm glad he didn't retire, so he could have this moment.

LOL at Uno getting 9.5 for PE/IN and Fernandez getting 9.75s for IN, both having had 2 falls and a slew of other errors.

Breaking out the popcorn for everyone who's inevitably going to be salty that Uno did a ratified 3Z with no edge call (not even !).

A sage smudging to rid them of the ghost of poor performances past?

And people complain about ladies PCS. Men are a mess and still get +9 like candies.

Hmm, how 'bout a larger crowd?

 

[Leelee425]

Because he only gets a green star?

He wanted a yellow one to match his free skate costume

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I'm confused. On the protocols, it says Javi got 8 points for the second 4T even though he couldn't put it in a combo and it was marked with a +REP. Wasn't he supposed to get no points for that?

Edit: sorry, I meant Shoma. But other people got points for +REP jumps, too. What's the scoring rule?

 

[demarinis5]

I suppose the French were trying to be trendy and stylistic. Was there any writing on the Stars?

 

[Farnaz]

Well next week is Skate America and I'm SO FREAKING EXCITED!

Me too, we payed for the first row for the first time so it better worth it

 

[Baron Vladimir]

I strongly disagree. Sure everyone is going splat right now. But if all of the guys do manage to bring their game in the Olympics like they did in the last Worlds, then all these quads will be worth it.

Clean skate -without falls is also worth watching, especially for casual viewers. Im not saying that they should forbid quads, just to give some kind of bonus (like a second half jumps type) for clean skate for example.

Nope, that's the rule from last season, 70% of the BV is given now.

The fact that Fernandez and Uno both got over 90 is one of the biggest jokes ever. I still can't get over how these two skaters (and skaters like Chan and Hanyu, too) can mess up half of their jumping passes, including URs and falls, and still manage such high marks for interpretation and performance.

I like that idea.
There is the Performance section, where the falls should be reflected with lower marks. But "performance" is a bit vague since it does have a broad sense, so judges will use that and be biased with their marking. A percentage bonus for clean skate on TES it's a good solution.

Because they are Special.

How is Shoma's coach so kind and wonderful :luv17:

Positivity always prevails with Coach Fluffy. Shoma is in very good hands! I think she loves him like a son!

If you get a REP on a jump, it's only worth 70% of its BV.

On theory, a not clean skate get lower PCS... but yeah you know theory vs reality

Mikhail KOLYADA has marked PCS89 of his best with 3 falls.
