2019-20 Russian Ladies' Figure Skating

At least Anna got this score after being called for 'mistakes'....the judges low-balling her program when they judged it as completely clean would be much much worse.
 
She UR her combo and she looked really slow here.

*cracks the neck and fingers*

You can't see when the blade hits the ice, nothing can be proven from any angle, all the video evidence is phony!!!!

Lol, I'm joking.
I guess it was, still, the scores are VERY low.
Not just for Anna, for Liza and Young and Yelim too.
Everyone got seriously lowballed here.
 
Under-rotation on the combo and she lost a level on her step sequence. Starr had lower base value but did not receive any UR calls and all of her elements were level 4.

The underrotation call was quite unjustified as compared to some of the other skaters today who didn't get called, and her step sequence was level 3 the first time too. Besides, one lost level and one underrotation does not take six whole points off your score.
 
Protocols are online. Anna got a < on her Loop. Her Flip also got only 0.85 in GOE. StSq Level 3.

Judges have low GOE in general for many skaters. Thought with some scores that many skaters got UR calls, but no, barely any UR calls but sometimes low GOE on some elements for skaters. Seems like Lombardia is just stingy with GOE and PCs, but tech panel barely calls things.

All I can say is that I am furious.:dev2: When Liza had skated I thought, ok, the judges are kind today, then came Andrews, and the judges were even kinder. I honestly expected Anna to beat Liza with a healthy margin. And on what planet does Anna have 1.12 lower than Liza in PCS?? I love Liza, but Anna's scores were just appalling.
 
Listen, there NEVER would be an angle/camera that would satisfy the fans of some skaters, even blatant flutzes/URs are being called 'flat' or 'outside'/fully rotated by some, whatever.
It's just the truth, some are blinded when they want to see what they want to see. A skater can be flutzing right into the camera in HD quality that being simlutaneously filmed by TimeWrap TV crew and there would be people arguing that "if we look at the blade and not the leg and if we turn or our eyes to the side and shake our heads really fast, it might kind of seem like it's flat or outside and I think that's how the TP sees it". We all have biases, I do too.

We can use what we see and judge with the available information, it's pretty sufficient to make some calls, and I don't need 300 camera angles in HD and super slow mo to see if something's under or has a wrong edge. Agree that some don't see it and they actually can't tell, and then there are some that don't want to see it.
The tech panel DOES have mistakes, or (and isn't this the favourite example of everyone) Medvedeva has the best lutz in the world.

I’m not sure if we disagree or not. :)

Really, my main point is that whatever any of us think, it’s what the TP calls that counts, and that what appears really obvious from one angle may not be from the TP’s point of view. It also bothers me that a lot of people who disagree with a call seem to assume it resulted from deliberate bias.

Early in the season and, honestly, I think the GOE was fair. Anna got high GOE on her 2A and some of her spins. However, her combo and her flip weren't very good today. (it is her first senior performance... she is naturally nervous). Liza and Young You did rotate their triple axels but both obviously deserved negative GOE. Tuk got pretty decent GOE on her other elements. Young You got very good GOE on her other elements but she lost so many levels on her spins and that brought her scores down a lot.

Yelim's GOE seem very low, Starr's GOE and PCS seem too high, Liza was definitely overscored on PCS and spin GOE, Young's PCS seem a little too high. Anna's score makes more sense than anyone else's, but it's not correct in comparison to her competitors. VERY odd scoring.
 
I think Anna was robbed on PCs but not so much on tech, sure she could have received higher GOE on her flip but she did make small mistakes on the step sequence, so I can see why she got level 3. As for for the loop, it did look under rotated to me, though with the bad camera angles it's hard to tell for sure.
Honestly I think Liza's PCs were just fine, and I don't think the judges were "kind" to her, but I definitely think Anna deserved higher PCs than Liza.
Out of topic but Young You was also robbed on PCs in this event.

Does it matter whether it was deliberate or not? The point is that the panel missed it, that's all and people thought it was wrong, hence they brought it up for discussion where they wanted to.
I just don't see how that's wrong.
And we can go on and on about the marks, but I don't know if you're going to deny that there are times when controversial judging caused by deliberate inflation/deflation did take place. It just does happen sometimes, there were cases of controversial judging in every sport, hence it makes people suspect other events too, and I don't see it as conspiracy, people are suspicious for a reason.
 
I'd understand if judges weren't crazy about her jumps and skating skills. But putting her below Elizaveta on PCS? Maybe I don't understand something but that had to be at least 32-33.
 
I don't think there was any particular robbery there.

PCS were generally low for all the skaters who just turned senior, that's why somehow Liza got the highest components. (even though she did improve on transitions and skating skills compared to last season)

on Anna the lack of a 3A and the underrotation on the combo made the difference, but remember there is still the free skate.

Poor Sonya, that was tough.
 
The -3Lo did not look underrotated...I first assumed she was called on her 3Lz because it looked way too forward in take off to me and not just prerotation. Her 3F was also really muscled. Everything else should have been higher in GOE.

Comparing with Tuktamysheva there is such a difference in quality for jumps I think it balanced out in the end even though her PCS being lower than Tuktamysheva is hilarious.
 
Yes Anna was scored like that because of Mishin..... You keep saying ridiculous things.
It's ridiculous to think people like Mishin or Tarasova are good old 'grandparents' of all Russian skaters, devoted strictly to the sport as a whole, not the outcomes of their own skaters and favourites.

They are powerful, influential players.
 
Remember, Anna's JUNIOR debut was six points higher than this, and she skated clean both times with the same layout. It's not a matter of "not willing to inflate new seniors", they DEflated her by six full points and that's just past unreasonable.

Those 6 points are exactly from the TES....
