Can i add a little doubt ?
On this competition the short and free programs are scored separately. It seem a little strange to me to make a normal prediction based on theoretical total scores of the skaters, which actually doesn't count here :think:
Dunno... it seem more logic to me to make a prediction over the team's placements/total point of each discipline, than the skaters.
What do you think ?
But that would be even more complicated to work out the placements!
I admit that it is a bit strange that we predict on the results for the skaters when the ISU doesn't bother with that themselves. But the ISU not giving the skaters their placements is something I have always found very strange. It is as if they are saying that what the skaters themselves have achieved is not important. And that is not the right message to be sending out. Which is why I always make a point of having it as part of the Predictions Game.
And I will not apologise for that. Because the skaters are important.
