What are you talking about, I find all the conspiracy theories amusingCan we stop with these corruption theories? Do you have any proof of behind the scene deals, etc?

I can tell you making up the scoresheet is not too difficult at all. If IJS is truly just about counting the criteria it should not be this mess.What are you talking about, I find all the conspiracy theories amusing
Figure skating is one of the easiest sport to stir up controversy among fans. All you need to do is put up some keywords on the internet and there will be bunch of people doing the rest.
The best part is when people start criticizing the results with there gut. Thing about the IJS is that it's all about counting the criteria and there are lot of people who don't bother checking those stuff, which makes the sport more interesting.
It would be a good topic for a social experiment
I don't think the SP is that bad, yes, I can agree on the LP styling. And than look where bad styling got Oksana.

Case in point: Sochi. But let's not go there.
So it sounds like Gracie made yet again silly mistakes. It's getting clear that this girl is not a great competitor and never will be because she should never lose against this field. Now she's getting to close to the boards for some reason.
I wouldn't count Ashley out, but it does seem that the medal chase at worlds will be between the three Russian ladies and Wagner, unless Gracie can skate much better than this. The other ladies, unfortunately, do not seem up to that level.
Her jumps were "borderline" but not a full quarter-turn short. Just 'cause they're small doesn't mean they should always be dinged.I don't mind Satoko's score overall but how the judges got there seems crazy. Her PCS should be higher but her TES much lower. The fact that they ratified her 3-3 was a gift but to give it positive GOE to be worth almost the same point value of Polina's just seems wrong. On top of that dinging Alaines 3-3 and not Satoko's just makes me cringe
Satoka is light as air on the ice but so heavy like a wet blanket in the air. Can this be fixed?

I said they're (borderline) rotated, not that they're good/high-GOE-worthy.If you look at the protocol you will see that many of the judges give her 0 GOE on her jumps, and that is how it should be. All of her jumps barely clear the ice. That is also reflected in her skating skills mark, and that's why her PCS scores are lower than some of the skaters she beats. Gracie Gold has huge jumps and a lot more speed and ice coverage than Satoko and whether or not she has errors, her PCS scores should be much higher than Satoko's.
Satoko's small jumps are not a factor of her small size, but rather of her skating style. As others have noted, Karen Chen is just as small as Satoko, and Karen's jumps are huge. Some of the Russian girls who are younger than Satoko are equally small and yet get a lot more air on their jumps.
