Just another stab at an off season topic!!
I'm wondering if anyone can think of particular skaters where the absence of the QR at the Oly's might represent an advantage, a disadvantage, or is it all just a crap shoot?
As an example, Sasha's QR performance at 04 World's seemed to help her overall placement. At 05 World's it didn't seem to matter - she basically held her #2 position throughout.
On the flip side, the QR hurt MK both years where she placed much lower in the QR than than the LP or SP.
It's interesting to look at the skaters. Some maintained a pretty constant position, and others went way up and down. There may be nothing at all to this other than the ice is slippery.
I'm just curious about other opinions. I'm not sure what I think.
