Joe, that's the whole thing about the New Judging System. The levels have nothing to do with the quality of the spin. You can be the world's crumbiest spinner and still get a level 4. The only thing that counts in determining the level is how many changes of edges and changes of position you do.Joesitz said:Hi DG - I am not arguing about the scores on spins. I am questioning what level they are. I want to know what Level 4 spins Plush gets as a skater who is known for weak spins. It just isn't sour grapes. I think anyone with a sense of figure skating knows Plush is not the greatest spinner.
Plushenko got level 4s on both of his "CCoSp" spins. (Change/combination).
This is one of the big criticisms of the NJS. A dog on skates can get a level four if he raises his leg four times.
