Reactions and criticism of judging by Network commentators - NBC, CBC, BBC, etc

[Ven]

I totally agree that Tara is insecure. Especially in the years following her win when Kwan became the most honored skater in modern figure skating. Her win is arguable...and many people would've liked to see Kwan win (which probably bugs the **** out of Tara). Also, what has she done to her face? That shows insecurity more than her repeated comments defending the judges and Adelina.

lol

never trust a person with a plastic face

No Lipinski is not insecure, she beat Kwan in Nagano fair and square

sky fly, you win the brown medal in my book. :disagree:

 

[chloepoco]

I was wondering the same thing about her face! It looked plastic... Agree that she is a one hit wonder, no way can she be in the same breath as Michelle's legacy. Flukey olympic win and that's it.

I mean, seriously? This thread is getting worse and worse; needs to be shut down.

Somehow, I think that this thread and the OP would be full of praise for Tara Lipinski and her career if Lipniski had stated that Yu-Na should have won the OGM in Sochi instead of defending Adelina.

Doubtful, most people liked Kwan and not Tara so I don't see Tara being lauded, simply on that basis, as Kwan fans are not necessarily Yuna fans. I find Tara full of herself and annoying. And why are her cheeks so big?

I think the mods are Kwan fans, so odds are this one will stay up.

I wonder if Adelina will burn out as fast as Tara did? Probably not before she loses a few competitions, make her a laughing stock.

You mean cash out?

Fortunately the Olympics isn't a popularity contest and the best athletes win. The best athlete won in 2014.

LOL. You really think Adelina's the best athlete/figure skater in this Olympics?

 

[Blades of Passion]

I agree. I also think she's fat.

 

[MIM]

Yu-na's base value in SP: 31.43
Sot's in SP: 30.43

Yu-na's in LP: 57.49
Sot's in LP: 61.43

Yu-na's Combined BV: 88.92
Sot's Combined BV:91.86

Total Difference : 2.94.......

Sot won by GOE's.....

And this is including the fact that Yu-na got Lvl 3's on her step sequences for both the SP and LP.

Yuna admitted a mistake on her SS for the SP, but never for the FP.

Since when bashing people's look is the rightful way to attack their opinion?

 

[Matilda]

Ugh, all this mud-slinging on Adelina and anyone who doesn't question the order of the podium is getting nauseating. :disapp:

 

[dorispulaski]

Some of the mods are Kwan fans, some not. I find it hard to get interested in ladies skating myself. However, please do not insult each other. Please do not call the skaters rude names.

As to Tara, she always roots for the youngest skater in any group. Her favs were Lipnitskaya at Olympics and Edmunds at US Nationals I think this is because she identifies with them, not because she is insecure.

 

[whatif]

I am sure the "fat" and insecure Tara Lipinski on a suicide watch, in her spa at her Malibu mansion and million dollar NBC contract, over the sour grapes by Yuna fans. Haters will hate.

 

[drivingmissdaisy]

I agree. I also think she's fat.

BoP you have been around awhile. This name calling seems a bit beneath you.

i think tara did a good job commentating..i think they have a chemistry between her and weir..

though i was hoping that tara didn't say that yuna had no guts.. that was uncalled for..yuna had to undergo training and skated so much pressure and did not crumble.. because tara herself didn't continue competing.. and just ran away after winning OGM.. that was hypocritical in her part..

 

[Manitou]

I just glimpsed through several posts on this thread and, yeah, another frustrated troll fest! Mods, could you sometimes intervene, please?

As to Tara and Johny, I loved them both. So much energy, humor and distance. I want them to stay and keep commentating! They kind of compliment each other, add to each other value and character!

I doubt that. Tara's popularity was never high with skating fans. Nothing she could say or do 15 years after being retired would change that.

Sorry, she was my fave! From the beginning when she was consistently beating Kwan until today!

That's a pretty broad statement to make and I don't agree with it at all

I agree...it is only the crazed who honestly believe that Kwan should have won in Nagano.
