they picked the correct podiums (or is it podii) regardless of any inflation. Cheers for the US judges.

Yes, I have no problem with inflation. But let's inflate everyone equally.

And I think it's "podia".
With all this chatter about score inflation, I've been pleasantly surprised that we didn't see that at this Nationals.
Jeremy Abbott certainly got a really high score, but I would expect so after he did 8 triples and a quad. Patrick Chan didn't do nearly that much technically and he got a similar score for his FS.
And it looks like PCS has only been a minor factor here. I think Lysacek and Weir got some reputation PCS during the FS, but it's not much higher than what Ryan Bradley or Adam Rippon got.
Any thoughts on why the U.S. judges aren't inflating scores so far?
Wagner's another one who didn't get an edge call and we all know her flutz is as big as Sasha's.
Interesting. Mirai got an attention mark. She did flutz there. But it is not that they were judged differently because of her reputation for being a flutzer any more than Sasha and Wagner are. Mirai does not always flutz. She has corrected her edge last or two seasons ago and and often gets away with the call.

If you fall but do it with style, can you make up a bit on that -3.00?
Ashley Wagner got one -2 in the short program (along with eight -3;s) for her fall on the Lutz. Scott Hamilton commented that the reason she fell was that her jump was too high. When she reached down for the ice after the rotations, it wasn't there. Ashley confirmed this in her interview, saying hat the adnenaline was pumping a little too much on that element.
USFSA judging corruption is so UGGGHHHHHLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYY!
