Stéphane Lambiel is rightly the winner of the Program Components. 9.15 for interpretation is great. I wish he had Plushenko's jumps or Plushenko had his ...other everything. Now it's even more interesting to remember Yagudin had both the jumps and the "other everything".Well, not spins. Whatever.
I think the judging was fair.
I see it's mentioned a couple of times that Lambiel is held-up. Seriously?
It's written what he got for his jumps, 4.70 for double axel, 9.18 for quad-toe double-toe and 5.70 for the triple flip. I don't want to do the maths about the others right now, but these marks for the jumps adds up to 19.80, probably one of the worst in top10, or well maybe even worse (since even Denis Ten who is ironically "ten"th got 24 points from the jumps), which is fair. But except that, he deserved what he got and I won't even discuss this because it's for sure. As I checked out Daisuke got better than him in the footwork, which is also fair to me. So do the ones who say he is held up, try to mean he doesn't deserve to get one or two more points from each spin? Or do they mean Lambiel's choreography, transitions, interpretation, execution and skating skills are exaggerated? Well if you think so you should be ready for a bigger exaggeration on Thursday, since his free program La Traviata will be even better in those manners.
