I don't actually feel like this SP shows her off that well; she does have some natural artistic instincts, but the drama of the music sets too high a bar. You see her trying and not quite getting there, and it makes her seem like less of an artist than she is. I hope the discrepancy between how she's judged in the US and internationally is sending a message to US judges; it doesn't do her any favors to not have a realistic idea of what to expect internationally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-55366827433757377962011-04-29T23:30:35.888-07:002011-04-29T23:30:35.888-07:00Ando's score was inflated.

Yuna's Go...I think the scoring is appropriate.<br /><br />Yuna's GoE for her spins is probably too high (or Czisny's is too low, I haven't worked out which yet), but that is counterbalanced by Miki Ando only scoring 1.5 points behind in components marks. Miki has been very generously scored this season in the absence of another dominant lady, and I think that was reflected in her ~8 average across marks -- despite her lack of transitions and speed.<br /><br />Czisny and Asada were definitely underscored. Mao's 3A was judged way harsh, and I really don't see how she has lower components than Ando. It's insulting. Czisny... I mean, I tend to agree with AJ, what is the USFSA doing if they aren't talking up the quality of her spins? With Mirai watching at home, there isn't anyone who even comes close! <br /><br />All of that aside, though, the scores aren't that outrageous. The competition is going to come down to the free, which was pretty much what we all knew all along.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-58478439131823596532011-04-29T12:56:44.076-07:002011-04-29T12:56:44.076-07:00AJ, I don't know if someone cut you off in tra...AJ, I don't know if someone cut you off in traffic this morning or took your drink in sbux or what, but I'm giving you a 10.0 as your component score for sass, keep it up ;]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-89007179408063654172011-04-29T12:17:45.752-07:002011-04-29T12:17:45.752-07:00"The callers haven't been slapping '!..."The callers haven't been slapping '!'s on many skaters.
