I guess the question would be, which would you rather have, four world gold medals or four Olympic silver medals.
If you put it that way, then Olympic silver seems more valuable. It is much, much harder to stay in shape for the minimum 12 years needed to achieve that, compared to the minimum four years to achieve four World titles. If you have four Olympic medals, at some point the colour ceases to matter. The only problem is, the scenario is completely hypothetical. I can't imagine how someone can medal at four Olympics yet have no World titles. They'd need to have preternaturally bad luck at Worlds, or preternaturally good luck at the Olympics.I guess the question would be, which would you rather have, four world gold medals or four Olympic silver medals.
Because your information is incorrect. These two wins are uncomparable. Yuna had TES disadvantage in LP 2010. But she won. Mao didnt have TES disadvantage over a lower placed skate. Her TES was 2 in SP, she was 2 in SP. Her TES was 2 in LP, she was 2 in LP. Yunas TES was 2 in LP 2010 but she was 1 in LP. These are facts. You may repeat endlessly whatever you wish but it wont change the facts. Your dragging thid thread into 2008 has no merit. I respect your frastration over the controversial win of your skatet but take it easy!
He only won one Worlds. One-time World champion obviously looks kinda lame compared to two-time Olympic silver medallist.Brian Orser always listed as 2 times Olympic sliver medalist, not World champion
But in the case of Kurt or Michelle, their World titles do get a mention unless they're being introduced in an Olympic setting.
And as I read his wiki for now I just notice, [Brian Orser's] first student had a greater competitive career than him

If you ask me, I am not interested in comparing two systems. I don't find it productive or constructive. What's the point. The 6.0 system is gone forever, there is no way back. I choose to live the future.This used to be the case under ordinal judging. Now it is one competition with a day's break between the first half and the second.
Which system is better, the old or the new? I don't dare give my opinion for fear of being called a "mathematician".
You two are arguing about two different things. You simply do the maths: if the skater A has 1 point TES advantage and 2 points PCS advantage, you say the skater wins by PCS. Where does this logic come from. There is no mandatory tie between TES and PCS that their advantages must be exactly equal. It's not an issue when PCS advantage is bigger than TES advantage. Half of wins are done like that. Still the skater win by both- TES advantage and PCS advantage. The win by PCS advantage means the skater has negative advantage in TES and gets pulled up by PCS entirely (Yuna LP in 2010, her SP in Sochi as well).
