I usually feel like a dope when people post videos and say, see? That jump was under-rotated by 110 degrees. That edge flopped over to the inside at the last moment, their reverse lasso lift was held too long. We won't even get into, was that a counter or a rocker (a what?).
It was a fine performance, though. I don't blame Sotnikova fans for being proud of her. I am, too.

Does it make him a head of anything? Or is it an honorary title you guys made up?

I see that English isn't your first language so I am going to say this slowly and without frills:you're kidding right?? a cheater SHOULD NOT be part of the judging panel again! where's the accountability or transparency with that?!? you just basically saying that it's okay and just shrug it off..
If you really the likes of Shekhovtseva and Balkov have equal weights with other judges you either: a)started watching figure skating only at the Olympics, b) are the dumbest human being alive.
"If you really the likes"? What does that even mean?If you really the likes of Shekhovtseva and Balkov have equal weights with other judges you either: a)started watching figure skating only at the Olympics, b) are the dumbest human being alive.
I looked for a reference on line, but the only thing I found was the last time I posted this on Golden Skate. I think it's true, though; but maybe I made it up and then forgot.
It's not about what "average" is, it's about meeting the well-defined criteria. She had a difficult entrance on the opening flip, none of her other entrances were especially difficult. Difficult entrance is 1 bullet point. Height is 1 bullet points. That's +1 GOE. GOE is not a general impression score, it's for meeting defined criteria which Adelina does not meet. This is not a criticism, it's really difficult to reach +2. I'm curious, what 4 features of the 8 defined criteria do you believe Adelina meets to deserve +2 on her jumps? I'd say only her opening flip and 3Lo deserve +2. (Under the criteria, +3 is nearly impossible for any skater, so I'm not going to take seriously any argument that argues Adelina deserves +3s).
PT is absolutely right. They actually get to submit scores on behalf of the judges from CAN, ITA, JPN, FRA, and GER (among others). All of whom scored Adelina very high.
Was this post really necessary? Who cares if someone said the panel was "headed" by someone? The point made is valid: that cheating judges should be banned for life. And judges with conflicts shouldn't be on a judging panel.
Finally you feel the same what Mao fans felt for many years when Mao got edge called for her flutz but Yuna practically never got edge called for her lip. Yuna used favoritism from judges, now someone else used her method. Why are you having problem with that. Hypocrite? Karma works. It's fair.it doesn't matter that adelina not getting called on her flutz while mao got an edge call on her lutz...

Oh I know. We've had a couple of Filipino nannies over the years. Excellent English, all of them.
