Enero said:So True. And after watching Irina's COC freeskate. I'm not so sure she's unbeatable. She wasn't as clean as I orignally thought. She two-footed her double axel and had a not so great landing on a loop (I believe). And her presentation is just awful, nowhere near as good as her short. Granted she got the PCS scores, but like someone mentioned in another thread, that could be because she was head and shoulders above her competition at COC.
At the Olympics that won't be the case. Skaters who CAN compete with her will be competing, and I think the judges may not be so generous, especially if the other ladies are on top of their game.
I'm HOPING this is the case. But if that is really the case, scores really can't be compared across competitions. I thought there was a universal Code of Points. Isn't what the system should be for? JMO.
