Apologies if this has been asked before.
I’ve started following the sport for almost a year now and it just dawned on me that it is quite rare for a skater to be squeaky clean (no negative GOE) for both SP and FS in one competition? (or at least in the Men’s discipline which I follow most closely)
I was wondering whether my impression was true so with the assumption that a skater’s PB ought be the latest one they’ve went clean across both programs, I went to look at the PB list and the protocol of the respective competition where they achieved that score. I didn’t go through the whole list but among the higher ones, the most recent was Boyang at World 2017. But since a lot of the men’s PBs are not without negative GOE, I couldn’t figure out when their last clean competition was by the PB list.
So I guess my questions are 1) Is it almost as rare as a ‘once in a skating career’ experience or is it more common? 2) Does it happen more frequently in other disciplines?
Thank you for your answers in advance!
