Question for everyone: who else disagrees with the results and knows the rules in-depth like BoP? It would be awesome if you could get a group together for a collaborative blog to dissect the results in Sochi, and gear it towards the casual fan - at the very least it would help people learn more about the sport and what goes into the scoring.
Speaking as a casual fan, I'd really appreciate something like this to help me understand scoring in general and especially to get a better grasp of the Sochi results. My podium would have been:
1 -- Yuna
2 -- Carolina
3 -- Adelina
This is only based on my gut feeling/response and untrained eye, though. I've followed skating for years and thus consider myself a somewhat more-than-casual fan, but the current scoring system just boggles my math-challenged brain. My lack of technical knowledge has never stopped me from being seriously opinionated so it would be nice to be able to back up the opinion with better understanding. Thanks!
