I still don't understand. Slight wobble in the spin but nothing bad.I am off to check the spin of Lindsay Van, where it disgusted the judge so much that he gave -4 when others gave 0 and positive GOEs.
Some judges gave Dabin a -5 for her 3 flip at Denis Ten Memorial, it wasn´t even a stumble and for me looked great but maybe q or UR, the reason apparently edge and they actually downgraded her flip but IMO that was not more then UR Someone explained to me that when it´s two mistakes, they have to give it -4 or -5, maybe that happen here, first mistake stumble and then another for UR = -5. It´s like you get punished double for one mistake. I don´t agree and I also think it´s very inconsistent judging from skater to skater.No, I'm sorry, -5 is what you give a jump that fails IMO. A fall or a pop. A jump isn't -5 or even -4 when the rotation is under by such a small amount that most audience members can't see it with the naked eye. This is nonsense.
Who are these judges, pray tell? I’m reading along here, and am curious.
Are they known qualities, or new?
As I said, I think they punish more now if there is more mistakes. For Rikas loop there was only one mistake, but for Rinkas 3A there was both a step out and UR apparently.I’m super torn about the 3A?
Like the judges gave -5 across the board other than one -4. How were they all so consistent?
But then Rika only got -3/-4 for her stepout
Just in for Skating scores, very different judges. The Korean Judge judged Rinka at 57 points and German 67 points
I think we all need to be drunk to watch men if this scoring continues.I need to go out and have a drink after this...
See you at Men's later, if I'm not too sloshed that is...
The men's scores have actually been really good this season imo. I like a harsh panel, and I do agree with a lot of the calls here. I don't think Rinka's combo was -5 worthy, but it did deserve negative GOE. The one person who really got hammered was Niina, but she's not that far back after the short and should be able to climb up in the free if she skates like this againI think we all need to be drunk to watch men if this scoring continues.
