Anna's Lutz edge turns flat before she even picks her toe in while Satoko's still has a minimal outside edge when she picks in. The calls were fair. They showed both girl's Lutzes from the front in the replay. See for yourself.
Now, that is a convenient position. But I don't agree with its logic.
A conspiracy theory is an explanation of an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy by sinister and powerful actors, often political in motivation, when other explanations are more probable. The term has a pejorative connotation, implying that the appeal to a conspiracy is based on prejudice or insufficient evidence. Conspiracy theories resist falsification and are reinforced by circular reasoning: both evidence against the conspiracy and an absence of evidence for it, are re-interpreted as evidence of its truth, and the conspiracy becomes a matter of faith rather than proof.
Sofia and Satoko had many URs or potential URs even the judges and tech panel couldn't seem to get them all down.
If any take take off edges were overlooked it does not surprise me, with so many jumps under review for UR in the limited time they have to actually review them.
That’s a ridiculous claim to make, where’s the proof that judges don’t have enough time? Maria Sotskova had every single jump marked as under at idf (fairly), they ALL got a carrot, surely they found time to do a review of ALL of her jumps, but not others?
Well it depends on a number of factors doesn't it?
You can't have a consistent model of the time it would take for a panel to review, because the conditions are not all identical. Some reviews may reach their conclusion very quickly without needing much analysis. Others might need more time.
Tech specialists can and do disagree with each other just as we do, so that can take time.
Maria's jumps were so poor in rotation and with mostly bad landings it wasn't likely to be a long process.
Satoko in general it is not always so obvious, she rotates quite fast and often her landings look clean in real time.
If you can provide some ISU directive that says that tech panel has a limited total time to do a review I would be thankful.
Are you being sarcastic?

I think we are too hard on judges and tech panels sometimes, whatever reason we have to disagree with them.
They are under a lot of pressure to not make mistakes and to get things right, much like the skaters they judge.
Not only that but they only have a few minutes to make these decisions in the first place.
I disagree with them sometimes but I try to remember it is not an easy job. We can all sit at home and play judge ourselves, but would we be able to handle the job for real without error?
I know I wouldn't.
As best as I could see from the available camera angles, her edges were flat at best.
Her full blade assisted prerotation on 4Lz in particular doesn't really bother me much, she's hardly the only one using such techniques. I just worry she won't be able to sustain her jumps that way in the future. Much like Zhenya struggled with her technique and is now trying her best to revamp it.
No. I’ve seen multiple times panels taking a big amount of time to review the jumps, I’m legitimately asking you where‘s the persuasion that judges simply did not have enough time to mark all the jumps is coming from. Perhaps I missed some directive that says the review can only take 3 minutes and not more under any circumstances.
i'm not even saying that's the case necessarily.
Or that it is acceptable to ignore errors for whatever reason.
There is no directive, no idea why you keep asking for things like that.
It is common sense. In a few hours it will be a full day, 24 hours since the ladies fs and we can go look at videos, photos, gifs and such to analyse skater's jumps, whenever we want, from the comfort of our own homes.
Judges and tech panel cannot do that, they do have a limited time to reach conclusions. Generally a skater only waits a short amount of time for their scores, mere minutes. That is just how it works, then thr next skater begins their program.
Do you disagree that the judges are under pressure too?
It seems as though you've already reached the conclusion that Anna should've received those edge calls while nobody else should've and you're just finding excuses to confirm your conclusion.
No not really. I saw with my eyes her edges were flat.
I will say Satako did not get hosed enough on URs, I'm watching her programs again and I'm thinking her SP combo aw borderline downgradable and almost all her triples under in the FS.
It doesn't affect Anna's victory she was comfortably out in front of Satoko both programs.
But Liza... it could have been the difference between her possibly making the final or not
Anya's skating is so lyrical and refined. It's a shame some of her jump techniques are flawed, because she has something different to offer that is worth sharing.
I share your concerns about Anya not being to sustain her jumps the same way in the future, but that isn't to say that she isn't working with Dudakov to work her technique as they go on this season and onwards. After all, this is her first grand prix season in seniors and I think they've received the feedback loud and clear.
How about this Glenn's edge? http://prntscr.com/putjvwNo not really. I saw with my eyes her edges were flat.
Yes, you're right, of course Satoko's edge seemed maybe 1 degree outside while Anna's was 100% indisputably flat and there's a huge difference between their lutzes which is why Satoko doesn't deserve any calls!! (according to the side by side earlier)
