Tatjana twofooted the throw and get massively positiv GOE. It has been the same in sochi and Zagreb 2013. That is injustice. The rest seems to be OK. Only one Team (DM/G) with Level 4 at the DS.
Judge number 6 punished V/T hard.
totally :agree:
one judge don't like V/T. except two 1 everywhere zeroes
I noticed that too.
If this judge is generally harsh on everyone, I would expect him/her to be Judge No 6 or No 9 (neither gave PCS marks in the 9's) for S/M. But these two judges gave higher GOEs to S/M.
The order of the judges is random for each skater/pair. Judge #6 for V/T is not necessarily judge #6 for S/M.
Is this really true?
They can complain, right, like Ross Miner did and was heard at a GP comp?
I have always expected that the random Order is constant because it really matches with the judging in sochi's women's event. MmmmmhYes it is. I bet this judge is the same as Judge #1 for T/M. She or he is a very Anti-Russia.

The Judges Panel (in random order)
Nope. TheFinn is right that they shuffle the judges from skater to skater.I have always expected that the random Order is constant because it really matches with the judging in sochi's women's event. Mmmmmh

You are wrong about Ross Miner, who did NOT complain.
The tech panel made a mistake re his levels, and corrected its own mistake.
I hate that a misconception over what happened persists. Yesterday someone else basically made the same false accusation.
Ross Miner did NOT file a petition at Rostelecom.
Exactly. That's why I said Judge No 6 for V/T might be Judge No 6 or No 9 for S/M, based on the low PCS these two judges gave S/M.
Finally the most important competition of the Championship (in my mind anyway) is under way. Another high standard event, with plenty of great skating and sadly one or two errors. Watched the recorded BESP live coverage, so haven't seen everyone yet.
A well deserved lead for V/T. I didn't like this programme when I first seen it but it has without doubt grown on me and I now love it. They really capture the mood of the music and interpret the Bollywood theme. I thought they were in trouble on the throw but Tatiana held on somehow and I also thought he looked a little shaky in the lift at one point but apart from those small things it was top drawer stuff. Great to have them back competing.
A very good skate from S/M on the TES side but I though from a PCS side they were grossly overscored. I can't believe that the judges could have them 3 points ahead of T/M and 6 ahead of A/R on PCS. Great throw, twist and lifts. Skating with Aliona has brought him to a much higher level that I thought he could achieve.
