2016 Europeans Men Free Skate

That interview with Kovtun on the Russian feed was painful to watch. It went n and on and on. That journalist is a sadist. And poor guy was just shell shocked, why even bother to torture someone like that?
 
Florent was 2nd in the LP after Javi. Only if he rotated 2S to 3S in his combo 3A+1L+2S,....

Okay, he is marvelous and he does not need a EC Bronze at his last competitive event to prove how great skater he is. He has been a wonderful skater, performer, and entertainer. No medal is necessary to entail his abilities to perform.

Kudos to Kovtun to keep the performance after the nasty and painful fall early in the program..

And hold on a sec, 8.00 for performance? 8.36 for choreo? 8.29 for interpretation? Are the judges watching Karajan on the monitor?
 
Just looked at Protocols and Javi's score was mostly right on except that he got "0"s across the board for the 4T when I assumed it would be -1/-2... 198 might have been fairer but that's splitting hairs.
fernandez also did not deserve to get 94 on pcs. An 85 would be closer to what he put on ice.
 
Javi got some generous GOE but I'm more surprised that he got one 10 in Performance / Execution...:scratch2: with a fall...:scratch2: Besides I'm quite amused by all these +2 GOE for Amodio's twofooted 4S (should be UR I guess?).
 
IJS: After the Salt Lake Scandal, we want to make everything more fair to everyone.
Reality: +GOE on underrotated and two footed quad, weird PCS scoring, and +GOE on bad twizzles

7.71 choreo in his last FS in GP. But I guess skating the same program with a fall and skating emptily 10s is an improvement over doing his actual choreo so I can see where they are coming from.

I guess Amodio's was a case of last performance bonus.
The PE/EX 10 was dumb indeed.
 
One judge gave him a -1; two, plus 1

I sometimes wonder if all the judges understand how they are suppose to judge.

They clearly just give out GOE by favouritism, they never followed the "guidelines". I seriously demand that they write a report after every competition in which the justification of the given GOE is stated. Like based on which bullet points does the skater fulfils that earns him/her the amount of GOE.

Why make it so complicated. Just remove anonimus judging and let's see then if they will put their names at this 0's and +1 GOEs :sarcasm:

It really does seem to be that way. If a good skater skates clean they get +2s and +3s all over the place, a weaker skater making identically good jumps gets +0s and +1s for no real reason.

There's no reason judging should be anonymous anyway. Seriously the only reason is so that they can get away with blatant bias with no repercussions.
 
Well Javi is THE undisputed top man in Europe though, and this is Europeans... I don't agree with his scores either, but let's wait if being in the same comp with Yuzu outside of Europe won't actually get his scores down a bit again.

I'm so impressed with him adding that 2nd 3A though! He has so much more fight and determination this season, and that makes me so happy! Hopefully he'll manage his new layouts at worlds :love:
