2025 JGP Ankara Pairs Free Skate

I am not thinking that the judges will penalize them that much on the PCS... they didn't yesterday and i think they should have been much lower than Ava and Yoni

To clarify : Mark was saying he'd put Etienne and Julia ahead in PCS too... so that's what I meant by that much

A good skate, not as brilliant as yesterday and not mistake-free, but good enough for the silver medal. They'll hopefully be medal contenders for a long time in Juniors (if CFSA stops meddling so much). PCS are improvable, but they are a promising team.
 
Did the judges totally miss the Chinese Teams quad twist and if so can they ask for a review? I'd be so peeved!
I don't know the rules exactly but I think scores can be reviewed only for a badly called element. So in that sense, it could be reviewed... they'd get a only couple points more though... so not enough for first.

I wouldn't be surprised if the protocols were revised later. As far as I know, the tech panel/judges will have review session (immediately? Not sure), and at least wrong element calls seem to usually be corrected. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

It's not going to change the outcome, but it would change the score (which could hypothetically have an effect on the JGPF qualification, so it is kind of important).
 
No way! Not cool.

They would have practiced that so hard... I know it won't change the placings but something like that should be recognised. Imagine doing a quad axel and not even getting marks for it 😭
Well... it happens and in the end, the things that need to be corrected are often corrected.

She twists so fast, it's hard to tell, especially when like me, you don't expect it. :) What I saw was a huge lateral twist... but I wasn't able to count the revolutions in real time. Were you ?

Not in real-time, but in slow-motion.
Did Ted say if they even reviewed the twist? I would guess so because of the levels, but if they did, they must have missed it even with slow-motion.

I didn't see the slo-mo so I won't pronounce myself. Of course, I heard what Mark and Ted said. So it's likely that the Chinese team will protest and that it will be corrected.
 
The real problem for me is not even the call but the Base Value ....

remember why nobody is doing the quad throws and twists anymore.... it's because the ISU has lowered their BV after the 2018 games.

So... a quad twist level 1 is only 6.8 in BV... the triple is 5.1
