- but 120 points for that kind of skating is ridiculous. .[/QUOTE said:
What you have to compare with in S/S skate is their marks from SA with what they got today, not the rest of the field, because let's be honest they are in a different class.
They earned 3 points * more here than at SA, and if we crunch the numbers, (take away the mistake on the throw 3 sal, because that happened both times and what you have left):
at SA they had a clean throw 3 flip which is +6 points , here Aliona fell on it, so most likely only 2 points. Also at SA the 3 toe sbs seq was cleaner, there they got a positive GOE, here I am assuming they got less, because Robin had a turn out of the second, could have been another -1 or something similar.
What they had here better, it was definitely the sbs 3 sal, earning them most likely a least +1.5, so they are making up the lost points on the sbs 3 Toes, but probably a little more.
The sbs spins were much better in synch here, probably another point made up,
Here the pairs combo spin was well executed, at SA they got zero for it, that is about 5 points (depends on the levels) and GOE, so this makes up for the fall on the throw triple flip.
Based on this quick math, they should have come about 2.5 ahead of their mark at SA, for the rest of 1 points and some, probably they got more somewhere on the litfs and there you go!!!
All of a sudden, the 120 looks just about right, assuming that the mark at SA was indeed justified.
