2014 Rostelecom Cup Ladies Short Program11/14

SCORESHEETS.

Can someone explain why two judges gave Mirai -1 GOE on her loop?

 

[MalloryArcher]

I know people who would not consider this an insult.

People from Moscow, I assume?

Just watched the ladies short program. What are the judges doing??? ***? Anna gave one of the worst performances and they still put her in 3rd? Talk about Russian favoritism. Also, Whatever the Canadian girls name is, she should not be in first. If the dinged Mirai with UR then they should most definatley should have called UR on the Canadian girls 3-3! that was so UR!!! I hate these judges and all of the favoritism going on. Makes no sense!

It was so close though. I don't think the judging was that bad - obviously that a total unknown could be first. (Relative unknown) I know Pog is not a good or reputable skater as Hanyu but as an example a quality skater can stilld o fairly well in the sp with some errors/struggle. She didn't fall. Good for Mirai; she looks like she might medal especially if the Canadian girl with her lack of experience falters. I actually would be thrilled to see Chartrand win a medal; it would be like the shock of the season!

The inside-out on the landing edge. Probably that judge thought it slightly under

But doesn't it give you a warm fuzzy feeling of united humanity knowing that no matter the country or language or culture, we know the media is going to be ignorant!

:yay:

Picky, picky judges. Mirai can't catch a break.

Thank you once again Mao88 for videos! I'm happy Mirai did better this time around although I was hoping she'd be in the top 3. 4th isn't shabby though. I hope she has a great skate tomorrow and medals. It'd be a nice way to end her GP season.

She's less than a half a point out of third place. Placements don't matter in IJS.

[jcmerman]

Because it's hard to read your post with all the new words you seem to invented by yourself.

Really, sounds like you don't know what you are saying!!!

 

[hippomoomin]

With so much expectations from Anna, I think we jinxed her here. COR has not been a very good place for Russian ladies in the history though, perhaps too much pressure from skating on home ice. But on the other side, Anna's spins are so much better than even her previous competition. At least Anna should be in GPF.

 

[LRK]

Anna did look uncharacteristically nervous to me... On the other hand, that result will probably light a fire under her for tomorrow's free...

 

[Alba]

Ro-see-ya! Ro-see-ya!

Where's the chanting? Yes, there's cheering and clapping, but no chanting!

Yes, they probably realised that Anna's performance is not enough to take the lead. But, there was no chanting beforehand either.

Is it the Moscow audience as opposed to the Sochi audience? (And if so, why? Sure Anna's from Moscow!)

Or are the Russian fans just not behind Anna Pogorilaya as much as they are behind Adelina and Julia?

Never confuse an Olympic crowd with GP's, Euros and Worlds.

 

[Shayuki]

I really cannot stand the intense overscoring for all the American skaters in this competition. I wish the judges in this GP would be impartial and stop favoring Americans.

 

[Alba]

Oh god. The more I read and the more I feel and support the judges.

LOL, you call giving two UR to a skater overscoring? YMMV big time here I guess.

Probably sarcasm/parody... I hope. (Or maybe talking about Cain rather than Nagasu?)

Cain wasn't overscored either. Her PCS was in the 6s. Angela Wang is 9th. So I'm failing to see how this overscoring?
