Well, at least he always provides some entertainment for us.

I don't think anything was overly wonky in the free. Chan's score in the short, definitely was out there, but LP I am fine with. I'm not a huge Rippon or Chan supporter. They're nice to watch but it's not my cup of tea. I really like Oda, and had Chan not had the gift he did in the SP we'd have the outcome so many want.
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.Originally Posted by Tonichelle
Evan Lysacek was skating at 2010 Worlds as well?
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.
Why not try to avoid talking about skater's personality then? And not talk about really personal and irrelevant to the conversation stuff like you being turned off by Chan?
You seem to ignore Oda's scratchy 4 toe also got no negative GOE at all.
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)
Sometimes it says "-3." I've presumed that to mean that from whatever score you would have given it without the fall, deduct three points. The added point would be that it must be a negative GOE (ie. -1, -2, -3). However, there are times when a GOE of -3 is automatic. Like in the short program - if you don't land any combinations, your first non-axel jump is automatically saddled with a GOE of -3. (Mao Asada's sp at worlds 07 is the first that comes to mind). That's marked as "G.O.E. -3"
I presume that's how to read it.
The reason I mention this is because check the protocols for last year's worlds and look at Chan's LP. He fell on the 3Lo, but ONE judge gave him a GOE of -2. Or even check it with this event. Reynolds fell once, but several judges gave him -2 GOE. Diane Szmiett fell three times at NHK, but there's only two elements in which all the judges gave her -3. Now (here's the bit that's problematic)... I cannot find evidence for this for non-Canadian skaters.
And if he has the same judging panel behind him, they'll hold his scores, yay!!!
LOL @ the dog food comment. Y'all are some funny peeps.
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).
oh it has nothing to do with Canada or Chan, it's just too expensive and I can't afford it.. and my puppy doesn't seem to care for it!
actually 5 plus a fallI know you can count well since Olympics!
For your information, a fall does not lead to an automatic -3 GOE in most cases. Instead of wasting time on conspiracy theories, I think it would be helpful to read up on the rules, which are public information
