Hanyu's score was fine. He fell but didnt skate badly otherwise and got 10 points lower than he got at the Olympics. Machida's score was the official opening of Japanese inflation at these worlds though.
Thus far, looks like Machida and Hanyu are getting home PCS at their home Worlds competition.
Kozuka still has to find a judge to hug :yes:
The European commentators thought he deserved a world record for his performance. Perhaps the fact that Machida just had the skate of his life had something to do with his PCS?
I liked majority of your post but I don't agree with that part. That is not fair at all. Besides which, being able to skate a clean program requires tons of practice. Yes, some may get lucky that day and some may have a diarrhea all day, but unless we have rules accommodating all those nuances before a competition, there should not be any reward for past performances on any given performance. No one argues Michael Phelp coming back and winning 4 more golds without breaking records ilegitimate. Figure skating fans are a little too hung up on the notion of desert, IMO.They don't want to reward people too much for skating cleanly pretty much due to luck. I think this is pretty fair.
And that shouldn't though. Having a skate of your life doesn't change the choreography, the transition, and the skating skills.
Whoa! Mao's PCS higher than Carolina's
Caro's PCS is higher.Whoa! Mao's PCS higher than Carolina's
