Supposedly both but it seeems some long term skaters like Carolina and Jason are well liked. I love them but wonder at the scoring of skating skills when the tech content is that of men 25 years ago. I am a huge fan of Both skaters and Jason did a great perfect sp. I loved it. But even I wonder why some skaters are in a scoring zone all their own. Jason will never have a reliable quad he is too old and the sport is about quads. It is hard to judge watching TV or online as opposed to. In arena and yes we all loved the skating of a certain Canadian who usually fell twice yet won. Anyway the scoring is always a bit crazy and I just think if you stay around a long time and skate like it was 1988 and the folks love you you will be overscored. What he did he did perfectly but he cannot remotely do what several others do routinely.
Vincent Needs to smile and relax. I think if he looked like he enjoyed skating we could relax and enjoy him. Very surprised at the huge gap between Nathan and everyone. They do really like him and are in awe of this student athlete warrior. I really think the men should be closer. I guess I should just enjoy what there is and stop wondering about scores. It never makes total sense and never has regardless of the system in place.
What do you all feel regarding the scoring in any and all events? Fair? Right on? A little off? Hanyu has won OG with worse performance. It is just weird. Anyway I love the men and ladies sp. some great moments.
The pairs- hmmm I sure miss Savchenko and anyoneshe skates with. Sui/Han really skate and perform with passion. I just see them as so tiny and admire how he lifts her so well. I didn’t see the other two pairs but I’m not much into pairs for a long time. I seem to like the skaters from 2002 and then Aliona. Yes she was 36 but my was she not just incredible? I so miss her in the pair event.
Dance will be who has the best modernist type skate. I miss Virtue and Moir but really in ice dance all the top teams are special. I wish I could see live if Gabby and Guillaume are obviously always better than most anyone anywhere. I wish we saw the FP before the RD. Well after this what is there to watch? Season over.
