considering the olympic champion's LP in Vancouver, I don't see that as being too weird.
But its not right. Higher GOE on his scratchy jumps than Oda? No. No. No.

No, it's actually not ridiculous at all, BigJohn. It's a debate that is yet to be settled. Such events as what we have seen today perfectly illustrate this fact.
As far as me turning you off - that's really personal and irrelevant to the conversation. I'm not here to be liked, I'm here to share my thoughts on this sport.
I also try to avoid talking about other posters personally, but rather attempt to focus on figure skating analysis and opinion.

Wait, where? The only place I see GOE -3 is for the first two, and under fall it just says "-3" (this is in the table near the end of the document), is there another place that says something else?
This is great!
What a boost for Chan's confidence: if he lands his jumps, he will not be beaten. Good job here.
You seem to ignore Oda's scratchy 4 toe also got no negative GOE at all.
LMAO, best comment of the thread.
actually 5 plus a fallI know you can count well since Olympics!He did have a couple of scratchy landings.
It's how it's worded - and I might be wrong, but it's worth exploring. I noticed it last season too (for Chan as well)

I cannot find evidence for this for non-Canadian skaters.
Chan winning the free isn't that big of a deal, but the amount he won the free is questionably. He had some scratchy jumps that still got postive GOE.
Yes, but Oda's scratchy 4T also didn't receive any positive GOE either (except from one judge, which didn't make a difference in the end).
For your information, a fall does not lead to an automatic -3 GOE in most cases. Instead o wasting time on conspiracy theories, I think it would be helpful to read up on the rules, which are public information
Judges were somewhat lenient on the GOE here but it wasn't specific to one skater alone as some people tried to allude here.
Can you find a non-Canadian skater that has NOT had straight -3 for an element with a fall, particularly a jump?
I am pretty sure it was last year that they changed the rule on the -3 fall deduction. Prior to the 2009-2010 season it was automatic, now it is not.
That said, can you find a non-Canadian skater that has NOT had straight -3 for an element with a fall, particularly a jump?
