I tried to mark the first three, finding it unexpectedly difficult! Here's what I thought:
Cousins: SS 7.50
TR 5.25
PE 6.75
CH 6.50
IN 7.00
Total 66.00
Guo: SS 6.25
TR 4.00
PE 5.25
CH 5.00
IN 5.00
Total 51.00
Tyllesen: SS 7.25
TR 5.25
PE 7.00
CH 7.00
IN 7.50
Total 68.00
My overall impression was of course that all these three programs definitely lacked transitions and that the programs all looked DULL if compared to today's ones (one of the positive aspects of IJS, as others have pointed out), with very basic choreographies and the music being basically background noise.
On the contrary, I was pleasantly surprised to notice that their SS were not as bad as I thought: they were different from today's ones (a lot more "basic technique style"), but these skaters all managed to achieve good speed, flow and ice coverage with decent edges, too.
I would be interested in reading what your impressions about my marks are!
