2016 World Championships Ladies Free Skate

[Alchamei]

I couldn't even watch Satoko becase of my anger. Ah, she was clean as usual.

 

[Lota]

Maybe they added the points they forgot to give Rika to Evgenia?

 

[Watermelondrea]

Satoko hopefully will be in third after this, maybe second but idk

 

[jkun]

Ugh. WR. Over 70 for PCS. 77 for TES. Inflated. Evgenia is a great skater, but this is just sad. At least on the bright side it was only by 0.04 and Yuna still has the total score WR.

I think if Gracie goes clean she will claim the Free WR and the total WR, the way this overscoring is going... Expect like PCS 76 for Gracie and Ashley if clean.

 

[frida80]

You all realize, this is going to make the Korean federation out some pressure on Yuna to return right?

 

[BravesSkateFan]

Beautiful! Yay Satoko!!

 

[samm22]

I give up on all scoring. This is ridiculous. Yuna still has the record in my mind, just like Carolina has has the Sochi gold medal in my mind. I have lost all faith in the system.

 

[StitchMonkey]

Anyone else starting to wonder if the judges know something we don't? i.e. that major changes to the current systems are planned, so they all figure they may as well let this system go out with a bang? I mean it almost seems like the judges are having their own competitions to give out the highest scores.

 

[moriel]

Alright girls. Just one more Yuna record to take down--228.56.

Thats left for Gracie now. She could technically do it if perfectly clean and judges would jump out of their seats to award her the PCs.

 

[Winnie_20]

Satoko. :luv17: Brilliant. Thank you. Tearing up here.

 

[Chemistry66]

Fluffy!

I knew what that was going to be before I even clicked on it, lol

 

[kresslia]

I really am a bit mad about broking the world record. Am I too stuck up into the past? I was thinking broking it should be with a magical program, tehnical and from an artistic point of view...

And to me, that IS a magical program. The best this year.

Satoko in for another big score.

Clean skate. Not the biggest jumps, medal will depend on others. Maybe 2nd for now

FS: 73.54+66.35 = 139.89, 210.61, 2/21

 

[Tolstoj]

Zhenia deserved the WR. GOE calculation was ridiculous back in Yuna's days and she was way overscored

So true, people tends to forget it.

 

[BlueIcicle]

I think I'm having a huge change of mind with Satoko, I still think her jumps are tiny but that was an ELEGANT & REFINED performance!! I'm impressed!

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

Fluffy!

The mini Polina dress

Satoko showed up and did her thing. It looks like they are only reviewing one jump.

 

[Shayuki]

Figure Skating has no WRs btw. And Yuna's "WR" was done in an era where GOEs awarded were so high that with that system alone Medvedeva would have scored several points higher than she did. In addition, the spiral sequence adds some points as well and Yuna has no 3Lo, which she could replace with a third 2A that she couldn't do nowadays.

 

[Krislite]

I still expect Gracie to come within 2 1/2 points of the WR and win this in a few minutes. So can y'all save the Zhenya bashing until after the competition is over at last?

I wouldn't be surprised if Gracie Gold also breaks the world record!

 

[da96103]

Zhenya's WR will last for about 20 minutes...Ashley and Gracie 151.0

 

[Alchamei]

And you guys thought Gracie was overscored in the SP?
