this basically
its their opinion & obv they're free to express it
we can watch OR not
Basically like TSL
everyone is biased
I prefer watching with Yulia & Adian now
What about the comments that were completely wrong? I mean, whatever you feel re backloading, it is permitted. So, the guy ranting on about how there HAS to be a jump and spin in the first half is just...what, a case of lying to the audience and attempting to cause a revolt against that evil little Russian who was blatantly allowed to cheat?
I really don’t get it. He would know what a “balanced program” means according to the rules - if he doesn’t, then what the heck is he doing commentating?? May as well have someone else on the team declaring that a bun with a sparkly hairnet earns 10 extra bonus points *
If he doesn’t like the rule, or how Alina has constructed her first half, fine! Say, “now there is a lot of debate about whether this program does indeed meet the requirements of being “well balanced”, the rules can be kind of vague *talk about what rules ACTUALLY are*, and really can leave a lot open for interpretation...”
“personally, I don’t feel this does constitute a balanced program, I don’t understand how anyone can without there being a jump in the first half. I guess that’s why I’m not a judge *laughs*
“I might get criticised for saying this, I know that it does take a lot of fitness to execute all those jumps in quick succession so late on, but you know what? I want the rules changed. I just do. That’s how I feel.”
*cross back to “good cop” announcer for the scores etc*
Be as critical as you want, but be accurate, and teach the audience what the requirements actually are instead of...I really don’t know what it was he did, apart from demonstrate either a lack of skating knowledge or that he had a hold of a different rule book.
