Congrats! I hope your work will get even more recognition, because it's really amazing!

And what this group is supposed to do?

It's easier to remember who is NOT injured in ladies.

Without scoring nonsense, rivalry narrations around Yuzuru wouldn't exist. So if popularity of sport is in danger, then unfair scores are okay? This may be a reason (or one of them), but not an excuse to justify current situation. And no, there is no need for rivalry. In many sports there are untouchable stars and media worship the ground they walk on.

beautiful

Tbh, at last WC we had judges mostly from small-mid feds and look what happened, so I don't care.

I wonder if this can also detect a possible bias when the judge scores a skater who trains in his country. Russia (Russia related countries) scoring Lilbet or Morisi. USA (and USA supporting countries) scoring Young, Yelim, Christy. Canada scoring (some) TCC skaters (especially with someone lower ranked like Kurakova or Utashin this could be interesting; or maybe they are too much out of radar for judges?).

Zu did HYK many times at FaoI, so I don't think he will recycle it. Candy seems to be the most likely. Y-spiral for Shizuka in Torino. Unpopular opinion: I think that Candy is much better program than HYK.

For quite a lot time I thought that whatever-music-TAT-gave-him is quite a strong option, but Zu recycled and he for years have at least one program with Japanese music.

God, please, no commentators. I won't miss any of them.

Another good thing would be blocked chat and comments. -- __ --

Well, they say it will be geoblocked. It can easily mean nothing for many of us.

Now I can't wait for ISU official stream to get copyright strikes in the middle of competition because of skaters music.

Rika's I-spin and bielmann are better. About steps, I prefer to look at previous season (couse she isn't healthy now) and she had entries in basically every jump outside of 3a and if her preparation is too long, then 90% of entries aren't entries. And I alsolutely don't know where you see so much tilted axis on her jumps. This is tilted enough to deserve any criticism? And Alena has leg wrap on many of her jumps, so she shouldn't get good air position bullet and sometimes even deserves a deduction.

woooof, very yabai

YAAAAY, predictions game! 1.List the top 3 of each discipline. Bonus Questions 2. In ladies, will there be more clean (positive GOE) 3 axels or quads? 3. Who will have the highest PCS before factoring? 4. Who will lreceive the highest GOE on a single element? 5. In ice dance, will anyone who was not top 3 after the rhythm dance end up with a medal? 6. Which disciplines will have a new season’s best? Grand Prix Finals Qualification - to be scored after NHK. 1.Who will qualify for the finals. 2.Who will be the top qualifier in each discipline? 3. Which disciplines will have a new world record by the end of the series?

Is Alena really that much superior on elements? Because on spins* and StSq (not SS, but StSq) they are quite equal. On other hand Alena's lutz is flat at best and her leg wraps on 2a, 3f and 3lz are still there and should get deduction in GOE. And euler looks like step out. Alena on other hand gets more hight and distance on jumps. And has more speed going into everything outside of axel where it's Rika who needs to be really fast before 3a. *On spins Alena is faster, but Rika's positions are better. Especially I-spin and bielmann.

I think Rika has by far better SS and CO than Alina. Plus at her best she is definitely better in PE. So in PCS there should be clear gap between them.

fire - Alina air - Rika water - Jason earth - Zuzu

Only Russian streams can save us.
