well I watched the cup of russia finally yesterdeay afternoon. I was horrified at the results of the Freeskate for the ladies. I understand that yu-na was ahead in the SP (another judging error, but i will not go there) but not by that much.
When Yukuri Nakano skaked that amazing freeskae, i thought she had it in the bag. instead after a good, not not impressive fresskate, yu-na wins by a HUGE margin. What about the 3 axel? if Mao landed a 3 axel that well we would be talking about it for weeks.
I am glad that Nakano made the final, but I am furious that the judges keep holding her back. The leg wrap must hurt her FAR more than it should. I can think of no other expliantion.
On another note i was SO HAPPY to see Joannie skate that well. Landing, the lutzes, the triple triple combo, she looks like the old Joannie again. Too bad she was stuck in such a difficult event and so can't make the final.
