I love that the judges protocols are going up after each segment of the event rather than after the entire Oly's is over!
While Plush's big lead is being questioned, that lead is mainly comprised of a large lead in TES, and only a slight lead (just under 1 point ahead of Johnny) in PCS. In the judges eyes, (and I don't disagree) he was the only skater who skated clean. (no negative GOE and/or no missed elements)
I'm assuming Lambiel's 2A was a miss of a 3A - same for Min.
I also assume Johnny's L1 spin must have been planned for something higher than a L1.
So - bottom line is that I think all of the guys but Plush left points on the table.
Of course I still retain hope that in the future, we will see more variance in PCS scores to better reflect reward (or not) for choreography and interpretation especially. But all things being as they are, I'm OK with Plushy's lead after looking at the protocols.
Other opinions?
