2021 Finlandia Trophy: Women's Short Program

[Ichatdelune]

I'm escaping the never-ending debates to Austria (yes I'm staying up I apparently hate myself)

 

[Apple1078]

Ok, I'm off to Linz.

Loena is nice skater. I always hope that she will reach such a level that she will be able to challenge for places on the podium of the European Championship. But all the time there are some difficulties.

 

[Jontor]

Yay, great score Loena. Well deserved.

 

[LiamV426]

Liza's SS is 8.92, and Alena's SS is 8.83

Uh ok I'm offended.

This looks like a really nice arena in which to watch skating.

Looked the scores and this must another dimension. Tuktamysheva getting basically the same PCS than Kostornaya. I will watch those videos with big attention.

 

[kmw227]

Overall a very strong competition, the free skate will be very exciting! Now, off to Austria for that last group

All the attention in the world will prove useless...

 

[nussnacker]

perhaps because i have been mentioning this for years that jump content should not affect skating skills and just gave up? Yup.. it's not good... Liza doesn't have the best skating skills in this field for sure.

Not talking about you, just poking a stick at one die hard Mishin Stan

figure skating is 20% actual skating and 80% complains/wuzzrobbings

And 10% lasagna, if you are watching with Elektra

Maybe all fans here are complaining Italians?? You said that was a national sport, right?

 

[LadyB]

Wow, that was really something - seeing Liza in the lead. Good day all around!
See yous all tomorrow!

 

[elliana]

What happened with Amber's spin? Tired? Nerves?

 

[Skatesocs]

I wonder why people, who complained about scores this whole time, are so silent suddenly.

I mean, I gave up. No real point. Tukt's not going to be on the team, though, so there's that.

that would explain a lot of things

 

[EdgeCall]

Nice way to conclude the event, Loena. Well done!

Haha, which explains why figure skating will always be a niche sport. Tomorrow is another day with quarrels See you then

Sadly, that's how PCS scoring works. I'm also not a fan of it.
I get it that your strategy is "the best defense is a strong offense", but I felt you omitted some important facts in your post about the PCS capping limits and already people are getting confused here. Kami's scores would be within the limits anyway, so no issue there.

Hey, that's my line from this post, should I demand a copyright?

The thing is you on one side condemn it by arguing about Kamila's score being too high because of the status of an "olympic medal contender", on the other hand you demand it being lower based on the same "logic", purely because her status of a fresh senior should be lower than that. But that's not possible, those are two conflicting attitudes. Either the scoring is based purely on rules and skate, then let¨s talk about technical issues and analyze where the scores should be higher/lower, no matter on what event it is, or it should be based on status. But then, what status should be the right one? There completely other than quality criteria decide, and that's what I really see witht hose who complain now, esp. when compared how they overprize other wobbly skated performances or performances with uncalled serious mistakes.
