Apparently they are useless as not enough of them there. You need to take turns to get any rest there.
They can go back to hotels to rest, can't they?Even michael caluza said that the accommodation is not really good. Some skaters who doesnt get a turn to use the bed just rest wherever they can and visibly the top countries get priority. So sad

Good grief, they are 2 points below Chock & Bates, isnt that punishment enough for their mistake, lol!
C&L have been criticized for their shallow edges forever, but their SD certainly showed that's not true anymore. The British Euro sport guys (being a former ice dancer) said that C&L's edges were correct and precise.
I think the main issue to me in terms of the PCS I/K received ( and the one on which I am having a VERY hard time understanding the argument that they deserved what they got no matter how much it is repeated) is P/E. The execution and performance were very good- until the last 30 seconds when they bombed. I'd have given them pretty much a zero for P/E for the last 30 seconds and maybe a 9 for the first 2 minutes. Therefore, I think they deserved at best an 8 for P/E and I personally would have knocked it lower- into somewhere in the 7's. I don't think it's valid to say 'but the rest of the program was awesome so 9 for them!' There was a glaring mistake that dramatically impacted the preformance and execution in the end of the program. I don't see how this can be glossed over or ignored.

But they didn't get a 9 though. So it shows that judges did lower their PE mark for their botched element, no?

8.89, statistically speaking is basically a 9.
C/L and W/P, who had the 2 clean performances of the SD got much higher PE here than in Sochi. 9.14 and 9.00 vs. 8.75 and 8.79 in Sochi. So following this logic, since I/K got 9.25 in Sochi, and they skated clean here, their PE marks would be around 9.5-9.64. But it was not. It was 8.89.
You can't compare I/K w/ C/L and W/P based on a hypothetical performance. And certainly it's not reasonable to assume that if they skated clean they would got the same score. There's a reason people state it's not a great idea to compare across competitions.
Exactly. So why are people hypothetically assuming that I/K didn't get dinged in PCS?
People have provided logical conclusions on why they disagree. You may see things differently, but that's your opinion.
