Reinstating the 6.0 judging system is probably a long shot, but I feel it would give a more accurate result. True it was very harsh especially if you made a mistake in the short program, but I feel the "new" system is even more corrupt and allows for judges to cheat behind a curtain. No one "really knows" where the judges are from, it just says ISU.
I do agree with the placements in tonight's performance in the pair's event but I do have a problem with the GOE scores. VOLOSOZHAR / TRANKOV's throw triple loop was awarded with GOE +1 and +2. How can that be when she put her hand down? Also with little bobbles here and there, how do they get a Performance/Execution score of 10? It is a joke when you see someone land a jump with great flow and height and they don't get the GOE that they deserve just because they are not the favorite.
The PCS scores are even more of a joke, as we have seen in Patrick Chan's case where he still won the gold at last year's world championships after having a bad skate. Denis Ten deserved to win. Also for Yu Na Kim during the 2010 World Championships after the Olympics. In her short program she missed 2 elements--the spiral and the layback spin, but was still awarded 60+ points leaving her in 7th place. In the 6.0 scoring, she probably would of gotten a 4.6-4.9 for missing the 2 elements. She eventually ended up second even with a fall and missed jumps in her free because her PCS scores boosted her placement.
They really need to find a better system. I feel the skaters should also have to perform ALL the different jumps. If they are at a high level, they should be able to do ALL of them. Not like Mao who cannot perform the Lutz properly so she doesn't include it in the program or Yuna who doesn't have the triple loop in her programs. If they are at the top of their sport, they should have mastered all the jumps. Just my opinion I guess.
