Anathema- Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 This is the result of the situation the IOC and Russia created. Valiyva shouldn't have been allowed to perform. Also while I'm here the scoring in figure skating is fucked and also, in its own way, contributed to this situation. The silver medalist was the better ice dancer.

Anathema- Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 A scoring system that doesn't give Jason Brown all the medals is a system that's wrong and bad and needs to be fixed immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even then, if there are refs, it becomes muddied (though still far less than subjective judges scoring an overall performance). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if everyone had to dance the same routine and you judged them based on the accuracy of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Really, in my system it would be narrowed down to: Lift heaviest thing Throw thing farthest Jump farthest Jump highest Run distance fastest (one sprint, one long-distance) Swim distance fastest (one spring, one long-distance, no separate events for styles) Pin other person with no strikes (wrestling) Stuff like that. Only things that rely entirely on the human body, nothing with big equipment or teams or complicated rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but if it was limited to that great Canadian athletes like Karen Cockburn would have never had a chance to shine in the spotlight.

The silver medalist was the better ice dancer. From what I was reading and even the commentators said this, is that she did the harder jumps but had almost no artistry, which the other girl nailed. Figure skating isn't just about jumps. I think she was led to believe that if she threw a bunch of hard jumps into her routine that she would win, but the other girl skated almost flawlessly.

I could be wrong here but from I understand about figure skating, the short program is generally focused on technical skills like jumps and other elements. Though, I think your limited in how many and what type of jumps you can do. The free skate is more about artistry and choreography and having your technical elements tie into that.
