A general question - how do you guys decide whether a particular skater is 'past his prime' or not? What criteria do you apply? - I am just curious...
For example;
For example;
- highest placement of the season
- average result of the season
- highest or average total score
- highest or average TES
- highest or average PCS
- jump layout
- any other?
- highest placement of the season - 09/10 (note his GPS results were worse than 10/11)
- average result of the season - 06/07 (1st & 2nd GPS, 2nd GPF, 2nd WC) or 07/08 (2 wins GPS, 2nd GPF, 1st FCC, 4th WC) ... depends on how you evaluate each competition, I guess
- highest or average scores / TES - hard to say as base values, total number of elements, guidance on how to give GOE, and level features change from season to season
- highest or average PCS - highest 09/10 WC, average 10/11
- jump layout - 07/08 (4T 4T-2T 3A 3A-2T-2Lo 3F-3T 3S 3Lo 3Lz) but his PCS was nowhere near what he was getting 09/10 or 10/11
