I only watched Polina and then had to go run some errands. Just saw the standings and will have to go back and watch some of those videos later.

 

Strange things happening in figure skating right now. Sort of mirrors what's been happening in the world lately.

Looking at protocols: why Mai receives always a low-ish score for TR? I haven't checked in detail TR in her SP, but this score is the only 7s (7.82) in her PCS, that otherwise are 8.20 av. (here Osmond 8.60 av. , with TR 8.39).

 

 

 

The Russian judge was strict today, except with Alina and Maria

well well what happened with the ladies tonight? the only thing saving me tonight is Yuna 

Okay, I need to rewatch Zagi's SP, but was she so off that her TR score justified something below a 8? Who was J2? o_O

Ah, well yes, that explains everything. Holy cow were those PCS scores a bit...through the roof.

Yep, she (Ms. Jean SENFT) clearly overscored Osmond (come on, for her the average PCS of Osmond in this performance should have been in 9.50s...), underscored Zagitova and also Mihara. Mihara was punished well also by the Russian judge (J4), who tried to help the Russian ladies. I have to say that, on the contrary, the Japan judge (J7) did nothing in particular to held up her country ladies ...

It's true that the highest score doesn't count as well the lowest, but also doing so some scores are a still little bit to high or too low.

 

I had to do some errand, so just have the time to catch up.

 

What. happened.

 

Mai, bby...

 

Slay the FS, Mai! You did 7 --> 4 before, 4 --> 1 technically is the same jump. Please

And the fudging continues. Sure. I mean, not quite as bad as CoC, but still, a long way to go.

 

FS start order

 

	Warm-up Group 1	SP
1	Nicole SCHOTT (GER)	55.54 (10)
2	Elizaveta TUKTAMYSHEVA (RUS)	53.03 (11)
3	Laurine LECAVELIER (FRA)	60.68 (7)

5	Polina EDMUNDS (USA)	56.31 (9)
	Warm-up Group 2
6	Mai MIHARA (JPN)	64.57 (4)
7	Alina ZAGITOVA (RUS)	62.46 (5)
8	Elizabet TURSYNBAEVA (KAZ)	62.29 (6)

10	Maria SOTSKOVA (RUS)	67.79 (2)
11	Kaetlyn OSMOND (CAN)	69.05 (1)

 

At least Mai is in the 2nd group... but man, her luck in drawing isnt that great... but, she is used to starting early, so maybe that will help her.
