soogar said:I personally think that the judges are doing their part to protect their skaters. The US men and the Russian men always get the good scores and the benefit of the doubt in the SP. It helps to skate for a country with a powerful federation.
Yes. And with more seats in judge panels. What I mean is NA to NA and formal Soviet to formal Soviet.
Bottom line is the new forces from untraditional FS country is hard to get recognized by Judges and fans. Since most judges and fans grown up by watching the traditional and classic westernized FS style.
Such is the life. You want achievement in a new env? Fit in first. Then try to improve it, bring in new fresh air. That's what I view chinese pairs developing path.
