I have slow mo'ed the slow mo and the 3Lz didn't look UR to me, somewhat less than 1/4.
...I think Kaori deserved every single point she got, she was just awesome.
Still can't get how can Marin not be full 2 pts ahead of Alina in PCS, someone will post isu criterias again. I am perfectly aware what is written there, moreover I don't disagree that Zagitova has difficult transitions and one foot multi directional skating but there should be something about quality of execution too, Boyang gets dumped this year in PCS because he does them quite a lot but with poor quality .. but I guess you should be Russian to score like this![]()
That's exactly my point. But she's still unrefined but less sloppy than at Russian Nationals. She's trying to get those limbs straight now. Next step is to hold some of those positions for at least a fraction of a second. So I think that she is improving.Difficulty and variety are also important. And Zagitova's movements could be better, but they are hardly low quality.
3T maybe UR..
but 3Lz? NOOO

I guess you should be Japanese for judges don't call your UR's.....
That's exactly my point. But she's still unrefined but less sloppy than at Russian Nationals. She's trying to get those limbs straight now. Next step is to hold some of those positions for at least a fraction of a second. So I think that she is improving.
How come they didn't publish the judges panel this time? That'd would be no difference from anonymous judging?
I'm curious as well. I like her SP better than her FS anyway. Ballet isn't for everyone. She probably wants to be a ballet type skater. I think more energetic programs would suit her better at this point in her career. But it's all about personal development of course, if she wants to be that type of skater she has to go for it.She tends to hold out positions noticeably less in the FS so I'll be curious if you'll still say this after the long![]()
They did for the other disciplines.
yes.Kaori had UR?
Okay..........![]()
yes.
And btw Honda didn't get an UR for her 3T which looked as much as UR as Polina's 3Lo......
For one who complains about Alina's PCS score..... judges reduced about 0.7 points from what it was at the GP final .......
and !surprise! increased hugely the PCS score of all japanese ladies......
Marin got more in PCS that what she had ever!!
same for Sakamoto who got 1.5 points more in PCS than what she had ever got before.
looks like the judges are going to push hard for a Japanese to win....... even with unfair UR's calls....
