I thought Sasha's 3T was a little under, I don't know, I haven't exactly analyzed it. I'm busy being incredibly impressed with her wonderful attitude, the giggling after falling before she even started was cute. Plus her incredible physical and mental strength to pull off that SP despite her fall and being sick.
Where are you getting the news about her sickness from?
I haven’t seen anything about it. You’ve mentioned it quite a few times, was that confirmed by her?
I'm not sure, but everyone seems to be talking about it and were in the ladies SP competition thread too.
She does look a little sick, to be honest and was blowing her nose during practice a lot.
everyone blows their noses, it's cold on the ice rinks. That's why every single skater has their own tissue box plushie.
Thank heavens Jason was scored fairly and took silver at SA. He got the PCS he deserved for that SP and he got dinged for the pop in the TES. He’s one of the very few who will get close to the PCS merited by a program without needing the ridiculous “quad PCS bonus”.
More skaters without quads should get the PCS they deserve and more skaters with quads should not get the quad PCS bonus.
Now *that’s* a proposal for fair scoring that I could support:yes:
^^^^
I’ve heard before, oh, it takes so much time to train quads, skaters who don’t do quads have it “easier”, but I completely disagree. If it was so darn easy to do what Jason does, everyone would do it. It’s not, and he works extremely hard for those points.
I have read some translations of what Yagudin said during SA and afterwards, and if translation was correct, I found those comments sexist and homophobic. After reading that, I have so little trust in what he says, that if Yagudin told me the sun rose in the East, I would look outside to check. So it’s safe to say his opinion will not sway me
Dima was hosed today. Samarin getting more PCS? Why even bother having a PCS score?
And I disagree that difficult jumps should get higher GOE. They get higher TES, and quite a lot. A gorgeous 3F should get higher GOE than a pedestrian 4T.
Of course, gorgeous and pedestrian are in the eyes of the judges.
So agree with the above. Samarin should never get high PCS---all he does is jump, jump, jump, and he doesn't even do that with any grace or ease. He hits the ice so hard I'm afraid he will open a huge crack for other skaters to get snagged on.
Nathan and Yuzu don't punish the ice like that---they caress it.
This complaint deserves to be filed — in the rubbish heap.
The entitlement it must take to complain when you're winning everything, just takes my breath away, truly.
I sincerely doubt that the Russian Federation really wants the ISU to take a comprehensive, objective and fair deep dive into what's wrong with the scoring — because they won't like the (deserved) PCS drop if they do. So it makes me wonder, what's the real agenda here? Is it to get quads added to the short? Once again, I'm not really sure why they'd push so hard right now. As we've seen on the GP, it makes no difference to the overall results.
I can't imagine they're going to engender much sympathy for what just seems like the whining of privileged elites.
Kogan said:I really hope that refereeing at our stage (Rostelecom) will be more objective than at some other stages.
I mean, Samarin's PCS is more likely quad-bonus PCS rather than anything to do with his nationality. You know, like Chen outscoring Jason on PCS when anyone with eyes knows that's wrong.
How 'consistent' was the scoring at this GP stage over the days?
How 'in line' with the previous events was the scoring at this GP stage?
My feeling tells me calling and judging was lenient, but if the same leniency was applied to every skater equally, it didn't influence the end result, i.e. the ranking.
