Okay, I just checked a post by kwanfan1212 which reminded me that a competition is fair game in this forum after it airs on television.
So. Without this somehow turning into a Michelle-Sasha-Irina discussion, I'd be interested in hearing some gut opinions. In general and specifically:
Were Asada's PCS scores inflated? I think so. She is a delightful young skater with enormous potential... and I like her. But the fact that she was so close to Cohen and Arakawa in the PCS segment alarmed me. While she did not outscore them in that segment, she DID outscore Rochette.
Inoue & Baldwin: Is there value in attempting a 3 Lutz if you never land it? (Good attempt on the throw 3 Axel.)
Thoughts?
