re: Kovtun

As soon as he tripled his quad, adding a combo was the right move, unless he thought very quickly with his lutz. Had he landed a solo 3T BEFORE a 3lz-3T combination, the combination is ENTIRELY discounted as he would do the element in two different jumping passes, and you can't do that in the short program (3T-3T is okay). That he only added a single jump means he gets -3 for the combination, of course, but better lose those points than two of the four jumps entirely. He could've added a double toe to his lutz, but I can't imagine thinking through something like that that quickly.

Go Uzbekistan. Really enjoyed that performance, he really sold it. And went the wrong way out the rink.

Use eyedrops.
Unfortunately, unless he gets some outside input for artistry, posture, etc. I'm not sure this will change under King Zadrajek.

Rather, unless you can go back and unbreak his back, I think this may not change.

My tl;dr:

MAX KILLED IT, GOOD BOY!

Kovtun...well. First, #menshovwuzrobbed, and second, even Gachinski's total meltdown disaster of an SP last year scored higher than that. Bye bye, two spots for Russia. Happy now, Russian Fed?

Well, Nan Song got through it, but it had its shaky moments. I'm not sure Han Yan wouldn't have done worse, under the pressure of running with the big guns.
