I think a lot of the Nathan hate is about his PCS not his quads.
Some people are just not willing to accept that the jumps are what makes it a true sport and not an art.
If a skater doesn't land their jumps no amount of artistry can save them and if a skater lands more difficult jumps they deserve high rewards, that is the way it should be.
I mean, yes. It is a sport and I have no problem with high BV skaters winning. But, as it is, PCS is suppose to be provided for non- jump aspects of figure skating. No where in the rules does it say skaters with higher BV deserve higher PCS. In fact, PCS is suppose to be awarded for the artistic side and the basic skating.. If the ISU wants to make sure skaters with big jumps always win then they should increase the value of those jumps. They shouldn't give a skater higher scores in TR and SS for landing jumps. That just isn't honest because it isn't scoring skating according to the criteria specified.
