I've never felt being beaten. I'm perfectly content. So far you haven't brought out any evidence for what I'm asking. I respect facts and logic. I don't think I'm qualified to give YOU an English lesson. So you are continuously beating around the bush. Do you know the answer to the example you've created? Let's hear it!
Well, actually you always sound like been beaten in all threads. As for the evidence, you have been told more than once to go to read the ISU Communications and the rules of mandatory -GOE. If you still haven't done it, it's no one else's problem. Yeah, I am not a native English speaker. Thanks for pointing out on people's unsatisfactory language skills on the international forum. And yes, I know the answer to the example I have created- both skaters will get -3 GOE according to tthe current rule, which are not in the spirit of Fair Play imo.
So, you didn't bother to read ISU Communication with the rule of mandatory -3 GOE for the jump without preceeding steps in SP. You chose to say it's not possibe.
So, you are saying that after your profreading of ISU Communication the second skater in my scenario will get -9 GOE for one jump (-3 GOE for no preceeding steps, -3 GOE for two feet and -3 GOE for the fall after that). Gotcha.
Wow, the season hasn't started yet, but just imagining the tension among these girls gives already me goosebumps.So, you are saying that after your profreading of ISU Communication the second skater in my scenario will get -9 GOE for one jump (-3 GOE for no preceeding steps, -3 GOE for two feet and -3 GOE for the fall after that). Gotcha.
NO! I don't mind at all! I hope someone will be more patient to explain that -6 GOE doesn't exist.
Hmm, I think the Russian Ladies field is slightly overrated, with the girls' lack of stability and too much nervous attitude. Also, Liza is injured and we don't know in what shape she wil be. Speaking about Nationals, I think Japanese Men's event is gonna be a blood bath, especially for the 3rd spot in Squad A and for all spots in Squad B. The skaters like Mura and Machida are really underappreciated on the international level, mainly because the competitions at Nationals is huge. Gonna be fun in Sapporo.Ladies competition at Russian Nationals, of course.
And her programs at these Trials looked :no:... I think that the Russians have the highest technical level (in Ladies) in the world, but American and Japan nationals have to most "complete" field: technically strong, artistically good, so many good skaters in both categories...
Lol. I can't even compare artistry of Russian girls with the American ones. I meant when I was speaking about the weakness in R-girls, that Russain Ladies field is weaker compared to other fields on nationals level, like Japanese Men, where competition is huge. In general the tendency in Ladies filed for the last few years were just meh. In Slutskaya time you couldn't even dream to podium if you didn't have lutz or flip jumps. Now you can land 3S or 3loop in combos with some 2T, plus a couple of 3T and you are with the medal. That's a step back. We had a similar one in Men's field in the era of quadless champions like Buttle and Lysacek. Now boys are challenging cool stuff. I do hope that Ladies filed will be reabilitated and the only ones who can do that is actually Russian wonder babies.
I think that, in the last years, a lot of skaters won without having a secure 3Lz, but it's just a jump, and you can't pretend from everyone to have it as her favourite jump! A step forward has been made in the 3-3: ten years ago, almost no-one landed 3-3s with complete rotations, now it's almost impossible to go on the podium (at the Senior Level) without a good 3-3 in the SP (Ando in 2011 is obviously an exception!)... I hope that, in the next years, we'll see good 3Lzs back with good 3-3s!
hwell:
You forgot about Mirai, Johnny and Jeremy. And I think the young Jason Brown is really remarkable as an artistry skater.
