The concept of Zhenia's program is nothing I find offensive and actually like the idea of it. The delivery is a bit too overt for my liking and lacks a lot of what I like in figure skating programs. So what? It doesn't make me root against her and why should anyone care about my personal tastes and hang ups. All that matters is what the judges see.
I renew my earlier argument that it doesn't feel right to spot her 2-3 falls in pts over her competitors. I think sonething in the scoring system is broken because everyone should not have to skate a program like Zhenia's to be competitive. Including Zhenia Just my opinion though.
I think figure skating is fun to follow but I wish some folks took it a little less personal and learned to enjoy it a bit more. Even skaters that aren't your cup of tea can be fun to watch and get to know as elite competitors. YMMV.
