The major part of TES is what the technical panel assigns.
In the FS, Osmond has only 4 jumping passes in the bonus zone; Medvedeva has 5 and Zagitova, 7. Osmond will always be behind in TES on that basis alone, and if she isn't completely clean, her TES shrinks even more.
Anyways is there any idea when we can next expect to see Medvedeva? A summer competition or ice show? I'm sure many will be curious to know what programs she has next season. Maybe we need to wait for an interview by Ilia?

Please stay on topic. Do not re-litigate the results of Sochi in a completely unrelated thread.
This is also when Wakaba was clean and Alina wasn't perfectly clean. Now that Alina is clean, I think it's fair that she's farther ahead of Wakaba...
Yeah, because her PCS suddenly skyrocketed about 8 points from junior season for the exact same program, but even more rushed. Meanwhile, Wakaba was underscored and was not getting the GOE she deserved. Wakaba should've been ahead in that competition in PCS for sure, and overall about 2-3 points ahead of Alina.
Look, I love Wakaba and I think she definitely deserves 2-3 points more than she usually gets in PCS, but Alina should not receive the same PCS she did when she was in juniors! She has improved a lot and that should show.
Yeah, our Canadian ladies need to start backloading all their jumps and throwing in 3 quad jumping passes to rule the world. Unfortunately, Canada believes in well balanced programs. It's mentioned in every competition package in Canada.The major part of TES is what the technical panel assigns.

So, in the hypothetical scenario that a skater would have a total of 3 quad/3A jumps in the first half and 4 jumping passes in the second, what would make the program imbalanced?Yeah, our Canadian ladies need to start backloading all their jumps and throwing in 3 quad jumping passes to rule the world.

No, we don't discriminate skaters based on their nationality. But if your coach is Eteri or you train in Moscow/St Petersburg your jumps, spins and steps in the second part should perfectly mirror the 1st part ( you'll have to spin and rotate in opposite direction too)Depends.
If that is a russian skater, surely it will be imbalanced. I mean, you don't just stick all quads and 3As in first half and have just triples in second? Also, TES for quads is way too high, so the artistry ends up undervalued. The skater is too young to do quads anyways. Also, this is an example of the very wrong direction figure skating is taking.
If its a north american skater, thats a balanced program (unlike those nasty backloaded programs) and displays the great athleticism of the skater. Amazing, lets all clap.

I think 3-4 is the ideal set up if you can do it. I'm okay with Evgenia's 2-5 split. I don't notice it as much. I have to say Alina's backloading is very noticeable to me and it's not to my taste but I do admire her for being able to do it. The rule is there to be used to the benefit of those who can do it and if Alina is the only one who can do it she should profit. To me, the PCS should reflect that it does have an effect on the program just as front loading does.
I think we shouldn't just shrug off that it's difficult to do, as some people do, because if it was so easy a lot more people would do it.
I just personally prefer a program that feels balanced to me. 4-3, 3-4, 2-5 and even 5-2 at least feels more balanced to me.
