This was the best performance of this SP so far this season! You can see everyone standing up at the end to give her a standing O. She certainly deserved it for that performance!
I agree. I find it interesting, depending on the skater, a 'lenient' caller is called out for unfairness, while a 'stricter' caller is deemed to be much fairer. I think the most important thing is not that a caller is lenient or strict but rather consistent with their calls and over the years, I find callers to be far from consistent. Of course, they are human too and the judging can depend on the angle at which they see the jump, but I feel it's a bit naive to wholeheartedly put my trust in callers and judges.
Sorry again, that was just a silly post of mine.
The whole underrotated thing heavily relies on us having some form of trust in the technical specialists and the judges in general.
