i am not the sort of person to defend medvedeva's scores, usually the opposite, but she scored 146 at nepela for one step out in a program where 6 jumping passes were backloaded and getting the bonus, whether we like it or not, as well as a couple of tight landings and a flutz. and kaetlyn scored 142 for... that? uh. okay. good job at making the lombardia scores look sane, canada. she could have won anyway with the point cushion she had from the short, there was pretty much no need to go so out of control with the marks. and we can say "oh different judging panels, its subjective" but the technical difference is staggering even with medvedeva's unusual shortcomings today and im just 

 

she's never going to get the same marks for a performance like that outside of canada, so why give her those marks here???

Well she didn't deserve 75 for her SP either so *ahem

Except for Yuzuru and Mai, all leader skaters were overscored, this season is wild. 

Yeah, we have seen some crazy scores in the competitions so far... I do not understand it either... as usual, though, when all the top skaters meet at gpf, then things will be much more accurate. I guess with Olympic season the judges are all pretty quick to throw out candies everywhere. It eill calm down, I hope. 

V/M have got new costumes, I think I liked previous more.

No protocols for the ladies? 

I'll probably fall asleep mid pairs, even if I want to stay up long enough for Vanessa and Morgan, but I probably won't be able to.

Oh, the girls actually got real medals! Thanks, SC, at least you didnt cheap on that!!!

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO canada is so wild, how do you explain that score??? remind me to never complain about medvedeva ever again lol

 

And in the same day Medvedeva finally gets an edge call. Oh irony 

 

Marvelous performance from Tessa and Scott, They are better than ever.

I only had time to catch up with Yuzu's RT - don't remember last time when he skipped several jumps during it - really hope this new strategy will work for him, so he can get a solid skate during actual competition. I'm pretty calm rn and hopefully will be too sleepy to get nervous during FS.

Will be thankful if somebody can post a video with his extra bows 

I'll try to sleep at least a couple of hours now 

Wasnt sure about Moulin Rouge for their final competitive program, but it was pretty good. They could sell it better, need more drama, but the actual skating is sublime. I cannot think who performs as a unit better than they do. It is like they are joined at the hip. 

They did ladies medals out in the concourse. Anyone know if they've done that in previous years? If Men's isn't on the ice there might be a stampede to the concourse.

 

(First post here, hi! On site and this seems like a pressing question.)

Men's will be on the ice. Everyone else off ice,

Men's ceremony is always on ice since Yuzu competes here in 2015.
