Imagine Young winning nats at age 11....wow.......
I agree.Obviously the Korean Fed isn't very influential. Lee was clearly the best, but is 3rd, only slightly ahead of very sloppy Sakamoto and behind juniorish Levito.
Loena especially has chronic issues with not rotating landings and wrong edge on the lutz. I don't understand how she doesn't have a reputation for this.Reputation is the key. If you are top-skater judges tend to disregard your ur's or edge mistakes like Loena's lutz or Kaori's flutz or Eteri's students' mistakes. That's the issue I am opposed.
Its a meaningless term that was derived from "Slay count". In Lord of the Rings, for instance, charactors would compare slay counts after battles. In skating slang, it means how many skaters in a comp did worse than a particular skater did. Its all in fun, hopefully.Might be a dumb question, but what is a “kill count“. Thanks.
Exactly.....Imagine winning nats at 11! Love seeing her in person....Young You is a skater I look forward to watching regardless of placement. She reminds me a bit of Mao Asada who I met in person at Worlds Boston.. strikingly beautiful.. ethereal And gracious

Don't ask me... i was at the rink ..Did the ISU channel have the same glitches ? Like R and R in the pairs short?
I have a different take on it. It starts with the assumption that the start orders have the skaters very well seeded, so every skater should be in first place WHEN THEY FINISH (ie, finish orders should be reverse of start order). A skater who starts early and does well then "kills" all the successive skaters who do not beat them. If a skater stays in first place through the next 5 skaters, then their "kill count" is 5.Might be a dumb question, but what is a “kill count“. Thanks.
In French we say "la remontée" and I think it's beautiful.kill count
Terrible. Outrageous. Scandalous.3Lz should have negative GOE. This has happened all season. I'm tired of it.

Terrible. Outrageous. Scandalous.
A snapshot as a proof of judges' blindness. What's happenned to this sport?!
I remember good old times when Shcherbakova was getting over 80 for less than that. That was fair judging.
Everyone knows Shcherba had ! Lutzes but she never underrotated all of her triple jumps in the short and got away with it like Loena here. The scandal at this event is that most of the skaters deservedly had edge calls or q's except for Loena. Even the commentator pointed out the Lutz in the official ISU stream and you should assume that he gets paid to support the corrupt ISU.Terrible. Outrageous. Scandalous.

And patronizingly telling others how to behave is not childish? Then spare me from any discussion with you, please.Everyone knows Shcherba had !
