This graph, which shows only the GOEs for jumps (rather than all elements) is even more damning. There is NO WAY the ISU can defend or justify the insane increase in Nathan's scores. I just hope someone forces them to address the issue.

Wow -How can they possibly explain NC's insane increase in GOE in one year - and in a year he was in classes at college and not practicing as intensely as he might otherwise have.  This is SO visible and infuriating.

I think the key words here are "USfed"----and Yuzuru was injured last year. He'd have won the GP Final if he hadn't been injured. So maddening.

What a weird cover. Why half and half. Would have been perfect if it was just the top pic or the bottom pic...

Seems like Sima was asked about Yuzuru in this interview. If anyone could kindly provide us with a brief summary

That sounded pretty dismissive, actually.   

so basically, Sima asked Zhenya to help her get a picture with Yuzu, which Zhenya did and she photographed them together. The journalist is persistent in getting Sima to describe Yuzu, what he is like, and she says she’s known him long enough (is he really out of another world?), yes, she can be like that too, but she prefers not to, as you can get too much detached from reality. He has little rituals for everything - for getting onto the ice, thanking people, bowing, mending the ice, thanking it etc - it looks cute. 

She sorta doesn’t really know the razor-sharp intellect and awareness behind that cuteness, I guess.
