True that... I feel like her PCS should not be below 35 so the one she got here is a big disappointment when others can get more straight away. PCS scoring should be standard throughout all the competitions and not have some hand out huge ones which get counted while others are pretty grounded. But in FS for years now, despite the titles, the records and an olympic medal her PCS has never really been that high even with that WR at Worlds. Caro can get pretty damn high (but for those instances I can totally agree). 34 was the range she got in 2013. From what we saw she's definitely better than she was then. She better be scored properly at NHK (Satoko, too).
Lets see what she'll get tomorrow. I hope it'll be better than that 69 at JO. To those saying she was overscored there... just look at the other competitions and compare. She was definitely underscored.
I thought the Mordovian Ornament scoring was nuts. I'm amazed those scores count towards PB's etc, and I think there should be some kind of official review... I don't want to see "Nationals" scoring in the Challenger Series...Given the other top PCS scores on the Grand Prix, I think Mao's PCS score should be 36.5 or higher in the SP. Given the scores that were officially sanctioned internationally at the Mordovian Ornament in Russia, I think Mao's scores for such an SP performance should be 38.5 or higher. Given Grand Prix average PCS for other skaters, I think Mao should have 73+ and higher in the LP with a fairly clean performance or better and 76 or more compared to the scores at the Mordovian Ornament. The quality of her skating, interpretation, musicality and choreography and connection with the audience is largely being ignored by comparison.
That is one weird gift
NEVER. Mao, I want you to do ALL the triples! ALL OF THEM, AND WIN EVERYTHING.By the way, I know Mao was just trying the layout to see what works, but Mao Chan please let go of the 3Lutz on the SP, you don't need it for another world record. However, I am ok with trying it for the GP circuit, but by worlds, let go of it Mao you can do.

Lol. Don't be greedy @Carneasada, she does not need that insane layout to beat this field.NEVER. Mao, I want you to do ALL the triples! ALL OF THEM, AND WIN EVERYTHING.
