If seven judges gave Yuna higher GOE, she would have won GOE, isn't it?
That is the whole point. We don't know.
Here are the total GOEs of the nine judges, in two different orders.
KIM 27 26 22 21 20 20 19 17 16
SOT 26 23 22 19 16 15 31 29 26
If this matching of judges' scores is the correct one, then five judges favored Kim with one tie. Three judges greatly over-scored Sotnikova while simultaneously lowballing Kim. With this pairing the three Sotnikova judges, by giving exaggerated scores, dominated the majority, who favored Kim.
Or…
SOT 31 29 26 26 25 22 19 16 15
Kim 27 26 22 21 20 20 19 17 16
Now six judges favored Sotnikova, with one tie, and only two thought Kim's elements were better.
Which scenario is the factual one? We will never know.
