Can IXU stop pretending they're investing on it, like there's no point putting up a puppet no one cares anymore

They really left q, huh?...

 

But they of course left out cheated take off.

So you're saying they only left the bit of the rule change that was nonsensical? Okay.

Yes. I still wonder how they will measure the difference between 89, 90, and 91 degress if they won't have more camera angles. Judging will be a mess.

Given that at Worlds 2017, in the short program, they pretended that Yuzuru Hanyu had transferred more than 50% of his weight on the other leg, while he had transferred less than 40%, and while rules ask to be lenient in case of a doubt, we can guess there will be abusive calls for some, and "more understanding" for others.

A bit of provocation...
Will Shoma Uno get ghost calls, or be treated with less leniency on his jumps?

OK, passport and some judges or Fed's faves  unless you're up against bigger Fed (2 previous GPF results were quite telling)

So GPF is still a go?

[Fay]

But how can it go on without CoC? So far nothing is clear from the fact ISU is facing another spanner in the works.

What makes me worried is that... let's assume that GP somehow will happen - in different countires that it was announced until today. It's so late. GPH was announced mid June, barely made it in time and skaters had to skate on cr*p ice anyway.
