press conference for judges and tech panel?

[YesWay]

I was thinking, after each competition we are all here on this forum moaning about overscoring, underscoring, national bias, crooked judging etc. and I thought it would actually be so so good that the judging panel and tech panel for each event held a press conference just like the skaters and explained their marks. Journalists could ask about the scores that look a bit weird or out of line or about the tech calls etc.

It think that would be such a good way to try to prevent or minimize all the sketchy stuff going on and it would also legitimate the marks with giving the possibility to the judges to explain their choices and even defend them. After all, those marks they give might actually be legitimate.

Maybe that way instead of seeing the judges as essentially working to put their own skaters on the podium/into GPF or whatever (which is the case 95% of the time, let's not lie to ourselves), we would actually understand their choices better, respect them more and also hopefully learn about the sport even more.

That'd be cool the tech specialists explain as well why teams lost levels or why some jumps got downgraded since the tech calls are so crucial nowadays...
I think overall it would really be a great stride into cleaning the image of FS and also into appeasing the fans that we are. It wouldn't change anything for casual viewers (only announcers and press could maybe use the info to explain some of the marks better) but i think it would mean a great deal for us (for me at least i guess), for the skaters and even for the judges tbh

I don't know if it is a solution that ISU could consider but now that I thought about it, i really really would like for this to happen. :thumbsup:

Yes, I'd love this to happen.

I have seen Japanese TV shows where people who were actual ISU judges reviewed video of some skaters' performances, and they were priceless - enormously instructive and enlightening. Something similar in the form of a press conference would be great... or even just transcripts of the round-table post-competition discussions that are already held...
