After adminstering the recent European Figure Skating Championships, the ISU still need to address the program component score section which seems to be marked according (most of the time) to either how many jumps they perform or where they are currently positioned within the world rankings or indeed after the short program.
There should be a fundamental difference between the TES and the PCS if the skater had beautiful transitions, use of choreography, skating skills etc. PLEASE ISU THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. It is still based on the jumps!!
I must note Susanna Poykio was wonderful in all areas of the PCS and should have been marked 60+ in this area. I agree her technical side was a bit under par and deserved those marks but the PCS were very good and the best.
The same for Jamal Othman in the mens discipline, again PCS were very good and should have been marked in the 70's.
Good to hear people thought's on the PCS.
