Wow, do you hate Plushenko that much?
What does Plushenko have to do with Kovtun's scores?
I'm asking, because I think Kovtun getting 41+ in PCS is already a bad, bad joke. And saying Kovtun has better SS and PE than Javier... I don't agree with that at all.
Kovtun skated on deeper edges and had more speed. SS are Fernandez's weakest point, PCS-wise.
As far as PE goes, Kovtun showed a really strong posture and lines and all of his movements were sharp and well defined, and in character of the music (if you turned the music off, you'd immediately recognise them as Flamenco). I think Fernandez could have shown some more projection and attack (that's in the eye of the beholder, obviously) and his posture, carriage and lines are a bit weaker than Kovtun's.
I would have probably given something like:
Kovtun SS 7.50 TR 6.50 PE 8.75 CH 7.25 IN 8.75 = 38.75
Fernandez SS 7.00 TR 8.00 PE 7.25 CH 7.75 IN 7.50 = 37.50
