Not objecting to your statement, but I see no reason for a judge to change his style from juniors to seniors. Can you explain?World Juniors are not judged the same way as Senior events though.

MM. King of the World is Physics which begot Mathematics and other things; and Queen of the World is Philosophy which begot Reasoning and many of things.If.
The fact is, we don't know what might have happened if what did happen hadn't happened. It is what it is. :yes:

It's an improvement IMO, but I don't totally like it. It doesn't account for the strict calling at SA.
I'm glad Caroline made it to the final.
It finally puts a sock in those niggling twits who cannot stop harping on her and who were so sure she would not be going.
Joannie's short program at Skate Canada really wasn't that bad. It was shaky, but she didn't fall or pop a jump. She was just lowballed PCS wise.
And well yes, the short program is there for a reason, but total score wise, Joannie scored higher than both Caroline and Meier, by a long mile... And it's the total scores that matter... Even if you add those three triples to Caroline's score, she's still not going to end up with a higher point total (overall) than Joannie.
Well, I would respect your position more if you said Kostner's and Czisny's underrotations at the NHK short program should have been downgraded, but you only wanted Czisny dinged. Specifically, Kostner's 3T and 3Lz in the short program were at the 1/4 turn short zone. Both of those jumps were shown in slow motion replay for all to see. Czisny landed her underrotations cleanly but Kostner's underrotations were highlighted by a balance check on the 3T and a turnout on the 3Lz. Meier's jumps were not close to the 1/4 turn short zone. Kostner was very fortunate to make it into the finals over Meier.Sorry, don't get the whining on this one. If the calling is consistent across the competition, then it is fair. Ideally, it would be consistent across competitions but that would be asking machines to call the jumps, not people. And I don't know if it was really a renegade caller, or just that the ladies at SA tend to under-rotate their jumps. Because if you look at their other GP events, they got plenty of downgrades there too. Honestly, I wish more callers were as harsh as the SA one.

All she has to do now is stop shaking like an aspen and skate decently for once in her home country. THAT would be a novelty.
I know this does not directly relate to GPF, but I saw the Kurt Browning "Gotta Skate Show" and Joannie Rochette was BEAUTIFUL in that show. She seemed very happy and relaxed there, and if she could just transfer that same feeling to her competitive numbers, she would be one of the very top skaters, I think.
^ Interesting. Missner is only 13th in technical scores, but third in presentation! :scratch:
Go Nana Takeda!
Kimmie is a very beautiful skater, so even if her technical elements are not her best she still makes up for it was strong PCS.
