I seem to remember the Candian Judges giving B/S much, much, much harder marks than the rest of the judges at the Olympics, and there are plenty of cases like that.

If there is a "home field advantage" in skating, I think it comes from the skaters rather than the judges. Maybe something in the skaters' minds forces them to skate better at home. Maybe it's a 2,000,000 year old instinct that caused our ancestors to defend the cave against saber tooth tigers.
As much as I like Joannie, she doesn’t have a stellar record abroad. She has won just 3 competitions off Canadian soil in her life, .............
