2014 Olympics Ladies Short Program

[usethis2]

Gracie was given the I am the reigning American champ bonus marks. There is no way she should have a score close to her SB score with that skate. Her 3/3 even received +GOE! And her 2A only got a -.21. Any other skater having the same kind of issues would not receive the same kind of score.

Agreed. Also, her 3/3 is +GOE?? Wow, maybe they are really setting up for Yulia and her jumps.

 

[HalfTriple]

Robin Cousins on BBC pointed out Li's underrotation on the second triple in the combination and wrong edge take off on the second jump even before the scores were out.

we will see if they are equally strict to Julia as to Li, then.

I am shocked polina had PCs similar to kaetlyn...IMO she lacks polish.

Missed half the flights due to commute but damn the competition looks like it is starting to suck I really admire Yuna now for her mental strength

 

[Panini]

Zijun also got edge calling the lutz. Really people need to get a clue and stop predicting scores with their emotions.

Yes, because predicting a higher score for a skater you like is way worse than wishing for someone to fall so they won't be a threat to your fave. Team 'Murica!

 

[lupojohn]

Gracie was definitely overscored a little. Seems like the U.S. and Russian judging blocks are in fact teaming up.

Overscored? How?

 

[HalfTriple]

Agreed. Also, her 3/3 is +GOE?? Wow, maybe they are really setting up for Yulia and her jumps.

Those judges are quite brassy and blatant aren't they?

 

[Mrs. P]

Woah, calm down people. Gracie's +GOE wasn't THAT good on the 3Z-3T. She usually gets +1.00 or more on a good day.

Anyone know where the tech person is from?

I think that comment about Suzuki falling was a joke. (I hope so anyways!)

 

[UnChosen]

Moment of truth...is Yuna's score justified or not.

 

[hurrah]

I'm so sad for Akko. Whatever happens, I'm so glad she had that wonderful performance at Nationals. She really rocked that day.

 

[Silvia451]

Wish I had seen Polina's performance.

Last group Good luck, Mao!

 

[daydreamangel]

Poor Akiko
Her skate was absolutely lovely despite the mistake.

Dick Button: Suzuki: What a sweet face... All three of them.


OMG!! He's out of control.

 

[Panini]

The poster edited the comment to "score!" after Akiko actually fell. So funny!

 

[BostonFan2016]

Lipnitskaia has to sell her story and the program to get a gold

 

[usethis2]

Anyone know where the tech person is from?

1. A Russian
2. A French
3. A Finnish named "Olga"

Before Julia, I want to add there is no russian judge in this event. Not even from former Soviet countries so there is a chance we will see real Julia scores, especially in PCS. Please think this before blame judges.

I'd rather say they are setting it up for Gracie. Julia definitely doesn't have the smallest room for error now.
