OMG Jeremy!!!!
Jeremy is sooooo cute today
feel sorry for Tomas's TES, what happened to him tonight :scratch:
OMG Jeremy!!!!
Why? To me (I'm not a skater), 3/2 seems more natural than 2/3, you lose speed when you jump, right?Also, the accceptable combinations listed just do not include a 3/2. They include 2/3, 3/3, 4/2 and 4/3.
I download the ones I want as fast as they're put up...A lot of skating videos are being removed......this is a sad, sad season........
Did Verner's combination not count because he repeated the 2T?
Okay, rule explanation time. Tomas combo didn't count at all. Why? Beacause he already did a 2T?. (Combo was 3Lz + 2T)
.Correct. The senior men's singles element list for the season indicates that neither the axel jump nor the solo jump may be repeated in the combination. Also, the accceptable combinations listed just do not include a 3/2. They include 2/3, 3/3, 4/2 and 4/3. And while the axel may be a 2 or a 3, the other solo jump should be a 3. But apparently that offense is not so bad. a 2T with -3 GOE adds up to .30 of a point ... but it wasn't a zero.

Such a trash of a skater. I just watch skaters who do their programs well. Carriere improved; he's not going downhill like others.Carriere. Please, someone save me. Sooo boring... "Ah, with this music it can be really interesting", I thought. Oh, how wrong I was... He didn't impress me at all. Boooring. And he's so young, which means that he'll be around for a long time....
Huh? Since when has a 3/2 been not acceptable? That MUST be a recent rule, if it is true at all. Obviously nobody actually PLANS a 3-2, you want the 3-3, but it's not cause for further deduction. At the last World Championships, Men that did a 3/2 didn't receive a deduction.

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing!I'm not saying I understand or agree. Just what the element list says.

Borodulin planned all triple jumps for the SP. He actually executed a 2A, 3LZ+2T and 3F. Got slight +GOE on the axel. Negative on the combo, but he had an edge call on his lutz that would account for that.
How is it decided whether one performed a decent 2 or a <3? I would've called these intentional 2A and 2T myself. But I can't give you a real reason, nor do I have any qualifications ... like ever having skated in my life. They just didn't look like blown triples to me.
It seems to be important because Artem got much greater pointage for this 2A than any of the guys with a <3A solo jump at SA or SC. I'm citing other comps because I don't see a <3A for CoC to make a direct comparison.

... When it's clear that the skater decides to execute a double Axel instead, as long as a triple is not mandated, the GOE will be on the double and can be 0 or even + if it's well executed per the rules.
Jeremy Abbott was my pick for the CoC champion, and I'm SO happy that he's in the lead!!! His SP was so beautiful...
I know that Kristoffer did a 2/3 combo instead of 3/3, but his marks seem kinda low because everything else looked fine to my (untrained) eyes. I guess he didn't get many high levels and/or +GOEs? Or maybe a jump was UR?
He lost very much on that combo, maybe 4 points. Then he would have been 4th instead, not 6th as now.I know that Kristoffer did a 2/3 combo instead of 3/3, but his marks seem kinda low because everything else looked fine to my (untrained) eyes.
