Here is the thing about PCS. In theory, it isn't such a bad idea to divide it up that way. And judges do get training in what each component means. But there are other factors involved here and PCS is a great way for certain games to be played.

But isn't that just the TES part of the COP? I would argue that Dai, Hanyu, and Javier did just as much difficulty in the terms you are putting it as Chan. It's reflected in their TES score. What about the PCS?Originally Posted by enlight78

This type of judging just cements the further demise of figure skating. The general public doesn't understand it and neither do the majority of skating fans and skating commentators. It's quite sad.
I don't know how can someone call this a sport, at least in men's figure skating. It's a complete joke. This robbery is totally ruining the excitement and any good reason we find to watch figure skating. How many times Patrick Chan needs to fall in order to lose to anybody, even to a fantastic skater like Daisuke nowadays? He can fall 1, 2, even 3 times and he ALWAYS wins, no matter how he and the others perform. And this happened SO MANY times. There's no need to make competitions, the results are already decided. They should already give all the golds to Pchiddy until Sochi . He can fall 3 times, mess up all the jumps, it doesn't matter, the judges always find a way. 87+ PCS, +2 and +3 in everthing (unless he falls), and there you go, a 170+ score. Looks like RG and the russians, but it's getting even worse.
Sadly, this is how I feel too :S It's hard not to feel that way when you're just watching it as a spectator. I do have a basic understanding of CoP, but it has ruined the beauty of figure skating for me.
It's just so laughable that you make it sound Chan did something extraordinary tonight in terms of difficulty. Chan did two flawed quads, only 1 3A. The gold standard in men's LP is 2 3A.
The spanish kid landed cleanly 2 types of quads, 2 3As!
The Japanish kid landed 1 clean quad, 2 clean 3As.
Takahashi landed 1 flawed quad, 2 clean 3As!
I loved Yuzuru's performance tonight! he was a real fighter!I loved his cute reaction at the end. He can only get better with time ^_^
Haha there's another thread dicussing the GPF in competitions folder. This is like the Skate Canada results, just reverse second and third. I really hope Daisuke would win, but oh well, you don't have to find the GPF to be a champion in our heartsWasn't that EPIC!!!!!!
1st- Patrick Chan
2nd- Daisuke Takahashi
3rd- Javier Fernandez
What was your favourite moment?
Did the placements pan out the way you hoped/predicted?
Who did you think should have won?
... now I'm going to go back outside and continue painting a portrait of Dai on my rink and reminice on that gorgeous program
That is my point exacatly.He did just as much difficulty if not more as they did yet people are upset he scored about the same as they did te's. And nobody was clean. Yet people feel robbed the pratrick won
Doubtful. The 5.5 was for Transitions and the 6.75 was for Choreo. The other marks by that judge for Dai were higher, but still relatively low. (7.75 for SS) One low mark could be a mistake. A set of such marks, whether deserved or not, is intentional.

This was all great to see after the ladies, who seemed so hesitant and nervous in comparison.
I hope you'll do like me and try to avoid reading all the raging around here. Don't let it spoil your enjoyment :D

Because other skaters were much cleaner than him. He botched two quads and fell! again on a triple. Takahashi's only mistake was a hand-down on the quad.
Thanks for posting, Leonardo. Welcome to the forum. (I hope future competitions turn out happier for you.)
Right man won the competition, wrong man won the free skate.
Super happy for the great performances of Yuzuru, Daisuke, and Javier, and really happy Jeremy managed to land the 4T (with positive GOE, mostly!) and improve on his previous performances of that program. Actually, this is the first GPF in a very long time where every single guy tried at least one quad in the long, and 5/6 went for one in the short. Since it comes along with really great skating, performances, and complex, interesting programs, that makes me really pleased. Not thrilled about the judging, but I think the sport is heading in a good direction.
