To pass the time in the off season I got hooked on the Air Crash Investigation series on National Geo and frankly I've just had more than I can take... besides I think there is no more episodes left haha not that I need any further convincing not to travel by air ever again

Lol, who is going to have slack in ladies? Sima? Kuchvalska? Or as usual Gracie will have inflated scores no matter what?

I'm pretty sure the point was that these skaters have URs more likely than others. It wasn't a dig at Russian skaters if that was your meaning?

You are not new to this board so that you should know about the member with the theory that judges and tech controllers from Russia, Eastern Europe, and just with slavic names like "Kovalski" tend to be very biased towards the Russians and Eastern Europeans. I personally find this theory ridiculous: there is obvious country bias so that the Russians give slack to the Russians and the Americans to the Americans but block voting is way back in the past. That's why I said lol.
This same tech team is for MEN and LADIES.
The only one who could possibly benefit is KOVTUN, who falls on his sometimes < quads. HE might get the benefit of the doubt but I don't see anyone else getting it.
BTW, the tech team doesn't give out PCS scores---that's the judges, and we won't know who they are until just before the start of the event. And Kovtun (the good Lord only knows why) often gets wildly inflated PCS scores. To me, he is just a geeky-looking guy with bad posture and worse choreography.

I tend to disagree. Kovtun is entertaining. He is not such a performer as Jason and not such a great skater as Chan or Hanyu. But his pcs are always way lower than theirs. To what extent they should be lower is a matter of taste. I think they are properly lower in general. If Kovtuns lands all his 5 quads he deserves to have a monster score - much higher than Jason if the latter lands none. For one thing Kovtun is a better skater than Boyan. If he falls and/or pops he will have the score he usually has: 215-230. So why is Ms. Andreeva that important?

Robbery is such a favorite and fervid subject that people are now debating who will be robbed instead of waiting to discuss who wuz robbed.

I'm confused, is this panel notoriously difficult, or are we just commenting on their countries?

This event will be very exciting to watch, considering it's still early in the season and a lot of this girls have great scoring potential but most of them are not exactly consistent. For the girls I fear it will be super nerve-racking: Few mistakes could cost many placements

I'm really excited to see Gabby Daleman's short again (love her music!) and Ashley's Sweet Dreams. On a side note, this is at 5pm for me---the perfect way to kick off is definitely skating and some junk food!

Oh man, I love that series. It actually got me over my flying jitters. Did a new season come out?
