The ice is slippery.
Well Caro (while I like her) would fall all over the place and get sky high PCS so her jump mistakes didn't ruin the "overall impression". And Chan inflation anyone? They seem to only apply this stuff when they feel like it.
I'd like to know which American girls you think are more "refined" and the height of artistry right now. Or Canadians, apart from Kaetlyn.
And can she dethrone Zagitova? I like her programs and skating much better. In general the Japanese ladies care more about choreo than their Russian rivals. The total result is way more watchable. Thank God they disallowed total backloading. I didn’t like Zagitova at alllast year because the programs were ticking boxes. This year she is more watchable but that is about jumps and her consistency.
I think Rika will blow her off her throne before long
I don't find it sad when a skater who combine artistry and difficult technical content win over someone who is the best artist but have major technical issues. The best skater, the winner should be the one who combine both art and sport the best IMO.
But it seems that many put art ahead and think than an artist with bad jumps is much better than a great technician who has good artistic skills.
