Patrick has the fastest, most amazing little feet. Right now, blazing speed, awesome transitions, great programs with jumps out of nowhere. We'd all be applauding endlessly except for the rules that allow the guy to splat and win. I think even general fans can see the speed with which he skates and does this very difficult footwork. There is a huge difference in speed between him and everyone else. What is the likelihood they will change the scoring re jumps which seems to upset many fans, CoP experts or not?
Will they see they must do this for the coming season? They seem very stupid to me, whoever thought CoP would make better skaters and revive fans in NA and Europe. Caro dumbs down her jump content, skates fast and does great in betweens, wins. Patrick falls twice yet wins because of "all else." ????? 6.0 was understandable, and the usually the best jumper/skaters won in singles. Fans got it. So now we see better blade to ice skills, but I need to read this forum and ask skaters and lay experts in CoP (or read pages of protocols and do math (ick! lol) to explain the results. Ok so that's a bit exaggerated, after watching for so long, you get a little idea of what is happening.
A lot of people had no clue why Yuna won and not Mao, and had to rely on no info from Scott or Sandra except to hear them say "Yuna left Mao in the dust." Thank you Scott, how edifying. And how much did they pay him for his "expert" commentary? At least they explain the crazy CoP on japanese television, but I don't speak Japanese. GS forum seemed to explain it all. The commentators provide color and no facts, but maybe the whole thing just gives them a headache.
If people do not understand, or think it is blatantly unfair, they will turn the chanel. I think that is 99% of the viewing public.
