I have now listened to both Telephone conferences (which is a lot of work, I just can't understand everything with the telephone noise in the background). I have to say that the journalists were basically begging them to trash the system, reminds me of certain US-commentators who just like to point out "unfair" elements of the judging...
I also feel really bad about trashing Johnny a bit here (he is one of my favourites), after hearing about his financial struggles. So, sorry for my, hmm, brash way of expressing my opinion. (I totally understand him, I had to tell the library lady today that I can't pay the 2,5 Euros fee because I had to pay my radio & TV bill and needed new ballet shoes - therefore my fortune was down to 1 Euro!)
I am looking forward to Evan's new costume of course, and the Triple Axel (though I still don't get what they meant with the camera angle).

I have to agree here too, it is all very shady - the general idea of having correct technique has to be applauded in my opinion, but the UR-calls and Edge-calls seem so random.The Man from Math said:But I have to agree that the ISU's choice of which errors it will nit-pick on and which it will let go, from one season to the next, or from one contest to the next, is hard to anticipate. Specifically about underrotations, my own personal guess is that the ISU will continue to hammer away at it until next year, then lighten up for the Olympics.
