Thanks evangeline, I actually just double checked that. That stated, I have yet to see that rule applied.
I thought Yuna was so sloppy. It's easy to skate fast when you're sloppy and are not attempting beautiful positions. Miki had complex footwork and beautiful positions. This is figure skating, not speed skating.
guys, if you just take a look at the protocol, you would know why certain skaters earned higher scores than others. seems like lots of ppl are complaining about yuna's layback. but the truth be told, free leg position isn't the ONLY thing that the judges are looking for in a layback spin. For one thing, she has an incredible back position and the speed at which she spins is pretty impressive.
Also, lots of ppl here seem upset regarding her triple lutz. usually a failed attempt at a triple jump entails UR and it's the underrotation of a jump that can really bring the score down. yuna's triple lutz wasn't downgraded, which meant that she still received full credit for her triple and thanks to the new judging system, the negative GOE wasn't as deadly.
ITA. For all those peoples keep saying Yuna w 2-3 mistakes is better than the rest of others because she travels at the speed of light... Too bad she didnèt join the speed skating too....would have gotten another Gold...

I guess only Michelle Kwan can skip the gp season after winning the Olympic Gold Medal and still come back and skate 2 clean programs.I was getting use to COP but I still don't like it. Yu na into first.. Well who knows what the long holds. Yu na certainly isn't herself. She usually skates a clean short but not a clean long.

You are required to put preceding steps/turns before your solo jump in the Short Program. Yu-Na's 3Lutz deserved -3 GOE across the board for having no preceding transition + the mistake.
Now the big question is will Mao will be able to bounce back to the podium.... Gold/Silver is appearently out of reach....but she can still salvage bronze if she skates like in 4CC. Or will the Russian skaters will be held up for podium...
Wait, I didn't read every single comment here but I don't think people are saying that the only distinguishing factor between Yuna and Miki is speed. Yea, Yuna skates with more speed but she has the overall package in artistry. I don't think anyone can deny that Yuna skates with elegance and style.
It's just a discussion. Skating fans always discuss event results. Let's not whine about other people whining, hehe. I'm happy!god... y pp are whining about Yuna's so called "not enough deduction"?
There is not a huge gap between the top ten. Anyone can win or medal, it will be exciting for sure. Can't wait.
Off to the Short Dance thread.
thats why we hate yuna.
everytime she skates, there are starange points in her jugde!!!!!
