Should be 3A<<

WOW! Can't believe the caller didn't catch that!

Even if downgraded the 2Axel is still a valid element he would get points for...

 

[curious]

More like the caller did not want to catch it lol.

More like the caller did not want to catch it lol.

Okay, I love this program for sure, but the 45 PCS was already suspicious and now this. In French TV they did not understood the score at all either.
I get teams are here for their Team Gold, but don't force it. Either make things right or fire the caller who does not seem to have a clue...

 

[Sackie]

Oh please - if Nathan can get 43 in PCS with his major errors than Chan should even be higher than 45!

 

[Anyasnake]

In the SS section definitely. But there are 4 other components. And who said 43 was justified either ? For sure, not me ...

 

[ChiquitaBanana]

It doesn't work that way. A 3A<< is still a damn bad 3A counted like a double, but remains a bad triple axel. (and a double axel is legal...) A 2A<< is still legal, even though it score the same points as an axel. It's a valid downgraded 2A... It is the intention that counts.
