You know to make things perfectly fair, each team should be marked by a different set of judges with no judge from their own federation or country.
This would be impossible to implement but it would take the skating orders out of consideration and with giving out generous PCS marks.
The ice resurfacing is also a problem, or maybe better to say contributing factor, skating last for tarasova and morozov did not help them one bit as the ice was already roughed up. I am not saying the other teams won because they skated before tarasova and morozov but it could have affected their performance.
I don’t want to sound like I am hating on tarasova and morozov and making excuses for them as to why they didn’t medal but there were factors that affected them mentally and physically that just happened to be released during the skate.
1: the fact they could not compete for Russia but rather OAR, this is a hard blow. Russians are patriotic people and having no ‘foundation’ and support in the games, with prior knowledge that the Russian anthem and flag emblem and colours are banned did not help them one bit.
2: they had to act as the parents for the Russian pairs. If stolbova and klimov were there, that would have been so much moral support since they have already experienced everything in Sochi. So this meant they had to step up and take place as #1 of Russian pairs (in terms of experience and dealing with pressure etc) Basically leading Zabijako and Enbert, Astakhova and Rogonov. In addition, they are so young themselves.
3: skating order and ice resurfacing. Enough said. It’s not like S/H and D/R skated FLAWLESS programs, all those mini marks taken from executions and toe pick positions from ‘saving’ mistakes just could have been where tarasova fell on her throw jump. ( I mean remember 2013 worlds FS Tanya and Max’s throw jump where max fell where Tanya chipped the ice on her landing, there she didn’t even fall) so possibility
4: candyman choice of music. Tarasova and morozov are not the natural ‘extroverts’ and it was not ‘easy’ for them to pull of the style of the contemporary skate, (compare this with Savchenko massot’s SP where they are naturally just those people in day to day life) being brought up by the Russian system with Russian coaches and then suddenly Ro*in comes along and translates his experience and style to them was probably not as beneficial as it could have been..
I mean Ro*in skated with Aljona for so long and their style was never the classical Russian style or Eastern European but rather more contemporary and more ‘out there’. Ro*in skated with Aljona to candyman before so... there’s that.
My suggestion is that Moskvina and Mozer coaching for style, choreography and technical stuff would make THE best team in the world. Honestly. But please god forbid costume changing half way through the program, and body suits...
this would not help evgeniya or Vladimir
Ok enough from me
Thanks for listening everyone
