Mai's calls on her FS were completely bogus. Especially the unclear edge on the 3F. But tech panels just have access to one camera, which is not any of the ones we see the FS through, so their angles are probably different from ours.

 

I do think that if someone has a proclivity for wrong edges, they should be scrutinized more often. I suspect neither Kaetlyn or Zhenya have their 3Lz often marked for review and their Flutz are blatant too.

 

Yeah... when I first learned of this I still couldn't believe it. When you have people at the top of the sport with pretty much the same technical arsenal (I'm talking about the ladies of course - most have 3-3s) then the difference between having the correct edge or not on the 2 highest scoring jump elements can make the difference between winning gold or silver. Of course, this is not reflected in the scoring right now due to how wild the PCS is being scored.
