A note on scores - from what I gather, 4CCs this year was very generously scored, to the point where if you were present and skated a competent program, you'd leave with a personal best. I'm not sure scores from there should be taken that much more seriously than Nats. That having been said, I didn't see Evan skate at all this year, so I can't judge the quality of his jumps.Check out his SP scores, two new personal bests in the 80s (3 counting nationals, 82.05) - 81.55 at CoC and 84.06 at 4Cs Even with the quad, those scores wouldn’t have happened without some awesome strong 3As—and 3Ls for that matter. Simply put, in the SP he had more time between jumps so they were more spot on in delivery.
There, I agree. Evan is not a favorite skater of mine, nor is he likely to become one, but I'd rather see a competition in which everyone skates well, not one in which people wind up on the podium by virtue of not being as bad as the others (e.g. 2006 Olys). It seems as though many of the contenders in the men's have identified things they need to work on for next season, and as a fan, I hope to see them succeed. Though I'm not likely to see much of anything, with Worlds taking place in LA in the middle of the night :scowl:What he has done is study and learn from them on the way to being the best Lysacek he can be, and I think adding TT to his team is a very positive step in that direction.
