Thank you! I'm very inexpert but thought it was pre-Olympics.
So two skaters, who are both known for their skating skills and GOEs, as well as tech in Yuzu's case, have held onto the top WR spot for what, five years now? And the new rules seem to favour GOE strengths?
This could be interesting.
actually what made Patrick so dominant back then was his mastery of the quads... he would include 3 across both programs and most often land all of them... he was really the first skater who had such a stable quad + GOE and SS.... so I would not limit tech to Yuzu.... nobody holds the highest scores without being complete enough of a skater and as a matter of fact, TES can score higher than PCS so the the highest scorers have all been great technicians.... Patrick dominated 2011 up to Sochi... Yuzu held the highest scores after that.... and probably Nathan will now do so.
