Forget Julia. Other Russian gurl is crazy overscored and she's even less artistic.
How come was the bias possible when the judges are not all Russians?

Lipnitskia's score is about right for what she did. Sotnikova should be a point or two behind Kostner.
So, is giving a high score to Russians the judges' "purely voluntary" appreciation to Russia's hosting the Games?
pls get the facts right
there was no russian judge

She looks like she flutzed there too and it wasn't called. That makes me very excited for the LP because maybe Adelina's usual flutz will be overlooked.
Um, there are non-Russian judges who are quite possibly in cahoots with the Russians and still give them "Russian judge" scores. You can tell from the scores.
e.g. Julia getting a 9.25 for Performance when all other judges gave her 7.75-8.50.
And Sotnikova received PCS of 9.50, 9.25, 9.75, 9.50, 9.75 from a non-Russian judge. I'm sure, whoever they are, they're collecting a lovely little paycheque signed by Putin himself.
source and proof ?
what a hypocrite, thats like saying V/M got a fix and won silver instead
Im sure the paycheck is all saved
for Skate Canada International
aka the most corrupted Grand Prix
Shouldn't you be spending your time doing better things than bash Skate Canada?
Maybe you should write a letter whining to the judges saying they should have given greater PCS points to Gracie's Hollywood looks so that she wasn't given the 8th best PCS?
And also in that letter, you should also complain that Wagner's PCS was higher than Julia's and Gold's instead of lower as you predicted?
it wont matter in the FS
I agree, I will send a letter to Skate Canada
but alas goes to their junk mail :disapp:
Plus Russia fell out of Hockey medal contention today Just kidding. I like these Russian games, I actually ordered a Matryoshka (sp?) Doll- I just don't get this scoring today and because it's the Olympcs, it makes me a little sad.So, is giving a high score to Russians the judges' "purely voluntary" appreciation to Russia's hosting the Games?
His remarks seem to me a lot nicer than my anti-Putin tirade.
To me, the scoring was OK except for all the +3 and +2 GOEs that Adelina raked in. Her elements were fine, but not better than Yuna's.
Julia benefitted from being a pre-event gold medal contender. Even with the fall they didn't mark her down much from where they expected her to be.
Gracie's marks were OK, a little on the generous side if anything, IMHO.
Kostner was magnificent. I have no problem with her being up there alongside Kim.
