I am watching Fantastic Beast: CoG on Wednesday, but I am not sure if that'd be enough to clear my weekend. Here's to hoping! Also, saw the participants lists, and I am for JSF's poorly-calculated decision to have my darling Mai competed at NHK (and IdF?) instead of here. I mean, come ON!!!! (I know I am late, people must have been moaning over this as well). No offence to the ladies who are competing at CoR, but sigh...

It is. That's why among the most ardent supporters of correct techniques, Uno's supposed 4F is called 'the floop'.

For awhile I thought I kept opening the ladies thread by mistake... I can't watch, am relying on checking the thread for news, you guys are not helping with my quota.

I can't join today, but wishing all the best for everyone, hopefully with minimum fudging today.

We all wish. Nope. She is 4pts behind in FS at least. ____ Congrats to medallists. I haven't watch it, cz real life... But, please let me cry over Mai... Mai-chan darling, I still love you.

Her layback spin is a marvel. The only other skater whose layback makes me is Arakawa (and Cohen, on her good days).

That's been my understanding for the last 2 seasons, hence I no longer like watching B.ESP. Howarth is not a 'bit' biased. He is VERY biased.

Those who want to know what Max said, I asked:

@WinForPooh and @shanshani Thanks for the clarification on the GOE and SOV. But, ouch. If even Jackie Wong is complaining about this... But, he is correct. Uno's 3A has a difficult entry, yes. But the lean and the weak landing should have negated many +GOEs there. Also, I am guessing the rules (err guidelines) for +combo has changed as well? Cz Uno gets a full BV for the 4T there. ___ In another news, they didn't call Zhou's -3T, even though the UR on that is kinda more visible than at the 4Lz.

There's an idea. At least I don't have to have my blood pressure spiked that way. We could just watch who is gonna get Silver and down.

J2 tried to tell them it's not, tho. But his/her GOE, of course, would have been dropped. Also, where's the info on SOV? Uno's 4F gets raw GOE of 2, but the final GOE is 2.2?? Is that how the SOV works?

Also, Uno's subpar performance today (regardless of what the score tells us) is further proof that he still doesn't do well when he doesn't have Zu shielding him from the expectations and scrutiny. I thought he has managed to do that in SkC (I don't count Lombardia cz of the baffling inflated scores). Prove me wrong in the FS, Uno.

Do I want to ruin my day by looking at the protocols, or do I just ignore it?

I don't care for Voronov, but he should have been first. As in, Uno's score should have been below Voronov. But, well...

Yep, but I mean... ___ This is what I mean with no stress until outrageous scores come out. Only 3 points behind Zu's GP Fin's PCS with no combo and a fall. sigh...
