Oh I read this as 'Tuktamysheva became pharaoh at the age of 10' and thought this was some kind of joke about her Cleopatra program...

yep overscored Osmond and Med and well really no different than Skate America. And really not different. These skaters are good but they aren't Yuna Kim or Sochi Sotnikova. The scoring is not really that inconsistent. I keep putting things into perspective nothing is as bad as the home nation inflation at nationals. ears ago une rth the 6.0 system the Americans would give 6.0 to their n ational champs even i they were second or third tier skaters on the world scene it was obscene, it was scandalous, it was an outrage but it was American nats and you just accept and expect it.

its Skate Canada, what's her next event NHK ? she'll get a payback from Satoko, Satoko will not get UR calls in Japan and will beat Osmond there !
yes, and those beautiful position when her chest is on her knees
I'm sure after this Miyahara will win at the NHK with a huge margin, with no feedback to the skater to fix her jumps.
About her stsq even at Japan Open actually i wasn't sure how she got level 4 for this, but i would have not predicted zero points.

Good point. But I don't think we've seen anyone try to do a program with a spread eagle, say, into four or five of their jumps in the same program. Or out of them, for that matter. I guess that's what makes the situation with the tanos different.
Like I said, I don't at all blame Medvedeva for doing it, since she can and it increases her points. But unfortunately, it becomes a negative for me artistically, rather than a positive because of the overuse.

O H~ do you really think this program is worth 144? Especially with the errors? It's not a matter of if she'll break her WR and Yuna's (total score), but which competition because she sure as hell will. A 76 for that clunky program? I believe thats a new personal best and it won't stop anytime soon.

imo for me it's elegant arm position.
and don't forget about difficult entry and difficult exit from jumps!

Yikes... Medvedeva's program = such a hot mess! That said, I don't actually think it's offensive or exploitative of 9/11 (any more than skating to Schindler's List exploits the Holocaust —> though one could certainly make the case that any such program inherently exploits its respective tragedy, but I digress...)
What bothers me is that the program is tawdry and schmaltzy —> it feels like a cheaper and more gimmicky knock-off of last season's FS... And Medvedeva deserves a more sophisticated program than this exercise in obviousness. She's way too talented a skater!

I watched Mirai's program on youtube after accidentally falling asleep for a section of the competition. Looking at the repeat, I'm baffled how her 3-3 got an underrotation, and her lutz got a clear edge call, but I don't see any dinging I expected on Evgenia's 3Lz (getting only a !) and 2nd 3-3 which I would have thought would have been an UR. :/

I believe the 0 for Satoko was due to a rule that the stsq must cover ice from one barrier to another. She is going to have to move a few elements around if that is going to be a problem. sigh.

Look, I think Evgenia is an awesome jumper. But really her artistic presentation is sub-par. There is just the opening and ending over dramatic acting, just like the last season. The composition is almost the same too; arrangement of the jumps, transition between the jumps, step sequence etc.. Don't even get me started on the tune-less music with excessive sound effects. PCS is just ridiculous.
I thought Liza has roots in Udmurtia, not in ancient Egypt.
that's why she skates the Cleopatra FS :agree:
She became pharaoh at the age of 11 when she landed the 3A for the first time.

Remove the car and ambulance noises and the Sotnikova style acting, and I think we'd be getting somewhere.
hwell:yes, and those beautiful position when her chest is on her knees,she has no nice speed, her jumps ar not high and they are not strong,so? tanos?

Out of all that you mentioned, Medvedeva was only able to tick off the difficult position box (tano). I don't know if you saw Osmond's 3F-3T but the height and speed in/out of the combination was ridiculous.
I think the tech caller just got harsh starting with her and ending with Satoko. After them the bizarre scoring ended.
