The Scoring Travesty Continues
When the two main commentators, Sandra Bezic and Scott Hamilton, verbalize that they don't understand how some of these scores were arrived at i.e. they were inflated for less than perfect skates, we have a problem. This is on national t.v When is this nonsense going to stop? The Russian team and Canadians shouldn't have been nearly as close to Shen and Zhao as they were scored. The Germans did a good job and deserved their scores. Eevryone else got gifts. Sandra Bezic has done a phenomenal job of commenting. She calls it like she sees it and she has been spot on.

I speak as one who never liked Kavaguti/Smirnov, I hate hate hate her flexed feet. Still do. Needs to take that door-stopper out of her hamstring. However, their SP performance just now was inspired, beautiful and incredibly difficult. I think their score is accurate. Still, she needs to fix her feet.
If anything, I think Shen/Zhao got slightly lower scores than they deserved, especially in the PCS.
The only score I have a huge problem with is Dube/Davison. That was a horrible skate even if you ignore the fall. Minor bobbles all over. Slow and tentative. I am befuddled by those marks. No way did they deserve to be over their compatriots, or even M/T and V/M.

I have mixed feelings. I'm happy S/Z are in the lead, but I'm pretty pissed that a couple of skaters were obviously held up (D/D, K/S).
Heh heh...Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that. Someone needs to be taken to the woodshed for that one.
