Artur PCS were rightfully low. Most of the skaters at this competition are better at all areas of PCS (SS, IN, PE, TR, CH). Honestly he was the worse out of all the men IMHO. He skated slow, had practically no transitions (nothing going on with his feet/program was so empty so low TR), there wasn't any interpretation (pain meds?), he seem like he wasn't even there (he just didn't perform/low PE). I was so bored during his program that I just wanted it all to be over. All the other guys were immensely more entertaining even if they did missed their jumps they kept performing, Majorov included. I would put all those guys ahead on IN and PE. His skating skills are only above Aaron and Majorov, nobody else should his SS be higher than. Even then, Max is way faster so i'll say they are about even on SS. Maybe CH over Max and Alexander but that's it.
To me he basically skated as if he had no confidence. Skated as if somebody kicked his puppy, he just looked sad. And I hate the way he finishes his jumps too. That bugged me more than Radionova's shoulders. He was my biggest disappointment at SA (Max too).
Anyway I hope he does better at COR for his sake. And I say this as a fan but sometimes you have to be real. I like the kid but really in which area of his PCS do you think he should have been scored higher than the other skaters I'm curious?
