Can I just say.....
I think all skaters have been overscored since Vancouver. No need to blame Patrick or Yuna in particular.
I don't see Ashley Kwan as a Michelle Kwan; more of a Kimmie Meissner, maybe a Jill Trenary or even a Tonya Harding or a world medal Rachel Flatt type. She is not overly "special".
Is there room for two on the couch? Enough popcorn for both of us?

More importantly, these deluded Mao fans whom Ven excoriates basically don't exist. Who on this forum actually says that Mao is objectively a better skater than Yuna (not just one or two aspects, but overall)? There are maybe 2 people who actually post things like that.
iS THAT YOU FROM PARIS vEN> OR JUST ANOTHER RARE POSTER. CALLING ALL BOTS. I DOUBT YOU READ ANY THREADS AT ALL, AND SIGN IN WHEN ASKED, UNDER ONE OF YOUR SCREEN NAMES. 7 YEARS 37 POSTS? Let US SEE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS? I WAS ATTACKED, BUT THEN AS A STUFFED ANIMAL, I GUESS YOU CAN'T READ. AND 6 POSTS AVERAGE A YEAR? I'd GUESS THEY MITE BE ABOUT? YUNA? nOT WORTH CHECKING AS YOU are CLEARLY ANOTHER BOT
Did I just say something stupid again? I'm a newbie and wasn't familiar with words. I'm sincerely sorry. I will be quite from now on...
Ashley's winning because the US doesn't have anybody better. I doubt Ashley's going to win the worlds this year, even tho I'm pretty sure Yuna won't be there & Mao may not (depending on her Sochi result).

I actually came to this thread because I thought I'd share my impressions from seeing Patrick in TEB, but after reading trough... maybe I shouldn't
There was the title, but I addressed overscoring in the OP, if anything, you Ven jumped in and made it about Mao/Yuna. It is just gonna be a drag -we will have ubers who really think YuNa is an actual Queen, with an old European title. She fell on a double axel, or fell out in her Zagreb Sp, and fell in the long. She did not earn those scores. We are not talking about LAST YEAR.
Ven wanted to wreck the thread. It really is not obvious how fast someone is skating, and I don't think the flaws in YuNa's skating-they come across as mentioned earlier merit 20 points over the field. And you seem confused re how much you "admire" Mao.:disapp:
This was about overscoring and how it is not fair to many gifted skaters. And how IJS was supposed to remedy this. Anonymity in judging is a serious flaw. When you turn things personal you can expect it back. Interesting you have nothing to say about YuNa's Zagreb outing which was overscored considering the GP finalists and the medalists. This was not the YuNa who skated last year. She deserved to be WC last year. Zagreb scoring was not earned. This is what the thread is about. reputation scoring and the Olympics.
Wait. It is? I thought it was about performance qualities that you can see live that are not so apparent when you see them on TV. Hence the question in the title of the thread.
