I was looking at the worlds ladies LP and noticed that Mao's PCS seemed pretty high so I looked at the official results page and this is what I found.
Mao Asada
Skating Skills 8.00
Transition / Linking Footwork 7.61
Performance / Execution 8.07
Choreography / Composition 7.82
Interpretation 8.18
Judges Total Program Component Score (factored) 63.49
Stephan Lambiel
Skating Skills 7.86
Transition / Linking Footwork 7.61
Performance / Execution 7.89
Choreography / Composition 7.79
Interpretation 7.93
Judges Total Program Component Score (factored) 78.16
I stilled haven't figured out how COP works so could someone explain to me what this means? Are the judges saying that Mao had better skating skills, performance / execution, choreography / composition, interpretation than Stephan? It seemed to me that Stephan's LP is in a completely different league compared to Mao's in all of the above.
Or do they just give higher scores to the ladies because of the lower factor? (Then why do they have the lower factor in the first place?)
I still think Mao deserved to place above Yuna but these scores are ??? to me.
