I hope this is a wake up call to Max. In the middle of his program he stops, gestures to the sky, turns around. The music is rising and he's kiind of not doing anything. It's dead space. While he is doing that others are performing difficult foot work, great spins, etc.. These are technical points also. And, unfortunately they added up to a second place for Max. As someone said his jumping is not at such a high level that he can short change the rest. The atristry is a whole other question.
About international judging. It's going through of phase of really pushing jumping. People have complained all season about jumpers being given high PCS so they can win. I don't think it is wrong for USFS to balance this with a reminder that figure skating is many different skills and abilities. USFS is stil an important voice in the sport. I suspect this debate about the place of jumping will go on for a while.
Does anyone know how Nathan is? Did they release him from the hospital?
