Alina's rise in PC is quite unbelievable. I was kind of shock to see the protocol score in one of her competition in 2016. Her PCS were around 6s and 7s. It's much different now. Med I have always found overscored as well. A couple of other skaters also always get high PCS and GOE but not as much as Med/Alina.
Just wondering what other teams from other Federation like Japan, Korea, US, etc can do if their PCS or GOES will never be recognized. Even other Russian skaters are not getting that much GOE/PCS boost as well. Some skaters have tried backloading and even doing tanos but the PCS and GOEs didn't really improved that much.
PCS sounds more like a reputation score for me, Just 12-15 CLEAN programs with improvements, podium and stability in every program during ISU events and GP will help any other skater to pump PCS to that level. easy way but not for everyone.
