But prerotation seems common among many skaters who attempt 3A. If Lysacek can get positive GOE for his much prerotated 3A, then Mao should also get it.
Here is Mao's 3A+2T at the Olympics. http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss144/bachadmirer/3A2T_FS.gif
It seems she prerotated almost 1/2 turn and underrotated 1/8 turn. Maybe it could be ratified but its quality was not great enough to receive positive GoEs.
(I think a guideline on prerotation should be made in the future).
Her 2T seems to be underrotated to me.
lol did you look at NBC slow mo? It is clear that her second 3A was NOT clearly rotated and
it was more than 1/4 UR. You can hear the commentators questioning it as well.
Tech was just generous to her because she 's the only one to land it. If it was a
men's comp where everybody does 3A it was definitely a downgrade. Also, her 2T is UR as well
(more than 3A actually) but she gets a free pass on that one. It's a joke that people are
complaining about low GOE on her 3A combo. No speed, no distance, no creative
entry/exit, no flow, no impact, not synced with music, no ease...
it just doesn't meet any criteria for GOE. In fact, she's lucky she didn't get negative GOE.
Why is everyone ragging on Mao when the same criticism can be directed at Yuna? Yuna underrotated almost every single jump in the program, especially the triple toes in combination, according to the NBC scoring guide I give her a fair scoring of 135 and Mao a 142.

I can see Yuna having a lower score, but I'm sorry Mao just does not deserve a higher score given her popped 3t and UR 3 jump combination. Plus her skating is slow compared to Yuna's and she showed no emotion. Yuna gets huge GOEs for her jumps mostly because she has very difficult entries and transitions going into them - Mao does not. In the case of Mao's 3as, she just strokes for a long time before them with no choreography or transitioning effort and then pre-rotates the jump 1/2 turn. Her 3a seriously only has a little more than 2.75 rotations in the air, so really, why should it get huge GOE?
To be honest,,,
little bit Overscored
Mao
little bit Underscored
Joannie
Actually I expected Joannie would get 2nd rank when she was finished. I think she was underscored because Mao was overscored. Mao is a so talented girl. However, her jumps in olympic lp were very messy and her interpertion just didn't match with the music at all. I thought some jumps should've been downgraded. However, if i consider she performed just after Yu-na, maybe she should've gotten some advantages unlike the others, so maybe judges did good works. That's why I was satified with the result. In another side, I don't know it was fair for Joannie, though.
is this the statement of the month?All jumnps in figure skating are underrotated. All.

Ha Ha Ha... I watched this video. I cannot agree with your opinion. This video Too. Are you really agree with opinions in this video? If you say Yes, maybe you are Japanese. After olympics, many Japanese made wrong or ugly video about comparision between Mao and Yuna. They provide wrong information in the video. For a long time, most Japanese thought that no one can beat Mao in Olympic because Mao has 3AS. Japanese don't want to think that Yuna Kim won gold medal. Shame on the one who made this video. I am Canadian who cheers JR. Please don't quote this ugly video in the future.
I'm not Japanese, I'm Korean, unlike others I don't let my ethnic "pride" cloud my judgment

The best ladies winning performance in olympic history ??. Yes. A world record breaker with
over 17 points in just GOE?? I dont think so.
