Don't forget that during 2022 Oly, the powerpuff gals of Eteri were still enjoying the Eteri bonus and judges were deliberately blind. Without the bonus, their TES and PCS wont even be that high.Sasha Trusova won the free program at the Olympics just focusing on the jumps, so I fail to see how this isn't a legit path for a skater to take. Program components aren't even just artistry in the first place. Skating skills and transitions also fall under the category and in some ways that's difficulty, which is why I've never understood why skaters usually have individual component categories so close together on average. Surely, there are skaters who have great skating skills, but poor interpretation, for example? This is why I try to watch the skating without thinking of the scores...because it makes no sense to me.
