Ok then.

If you're a Russian skater, URs and edge calls apparently don't exist.

One would hope marking would always be fair but remember Mao and carolina have been held up so many times. Irony.I agree but it was stupid of them to need to send the message this season and at the Games. That trio were all certain to retire after this season anyway. Would marking them fairly in their last season have been too much to ask. Apparently so. If one of them surprised and stayed then send them the message then in a post Olympic World with nobody outside skating nuts following, not at the Olympics and in the Olympic season with everyone following. In the end they are the big losers as they look like the joke and so does their already struggling sport.

Does anyone else think 6.0 wasn't so bad after all? At least we get to see who gave the marks to which skater.

If the judges are ready for new blood, they are not alone. I'm ready for new faces to emerge, too.
I'm more interested in the new Russian pair than I am in V/T. I'm interested in seeing where US ice dance goes when D/W move on. After their superb tango FD, I want to see where W/P can take Canadian dance.
I'm ready for all the "top tier" of men to move on. It's been an uninspiring quad in that discipline.
I'm tired of the endless, pointless, tedious debates about Mao, Yuna, Carolina. I want to see Polina develop, Gracie to continue with a mature style. I want to see where Japanese ladies pick up with the retirement of their podium contenders. I think Canadian women will become a greater force in the next 4 years; they do have some promising young talent.
PS. None if this is to say I am not a fan/haven't enjoyed those skaters I've mentioned by name... I'm just ready for something new.

That doesn't mea she flutzed this time. No one has produced an image of the edge rolling over to the inside.
She did flutz, as she has all season long and her entire career. Nothing changed. You can go look at it in HD on nbcolympics.com.
Yulia has done more real lutzes than Adelina. See 2012 Cup of China. Yulia had a history of flutzing, and I was looking at the replay very carefully. To my surprise, I agreed that it was a real lutz. It hasn't remained consistent, though.
Ironically, improving her lutz at the time caused Yulia's flip entry to change so she got an edge call on the flip.
Yeah, people seem to think flutz can easily fixed within a month for some mysterious reason.
IMO the judges, and officials are ready for new blood. The veterans: Yuna,Mao and Caro have dominated this sport for so long the judges were sending them a message. Retire. We no longer think your PCS are way above the newbies.
No. I haven't heard a thing like that. She's still got the same deep edges. And that explains Caro's how? Or Adelina overscoring them both on CH? Please.
Someone said Yuna admitted to losing levels on her SS. I haven't see her say it but a few people have mentioned it.
