Dinhu4ever Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 I was so disapointed by Lambiel's score. I had such high hopes for him. I hope he'll do better with his long program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinhu4ever Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 No comments on the Figure Skating Topic minutes before the Men's Final? How odd! But what's even stranger is the fact that Figure Skating (or, as we say here Patinação ArtÃstica) is in the Brazilian trending topics of Twitter! That's amazing! And nobody really knows how! Guess Vancouver e doing something for the ice sports down here! XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinhu4ever Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 If it's any consolation, I'll be forced to watch everybody from the last group (aka the most likely medalists) on the Internet because the tv is stopping figure skating in a few moments to start broadcasting the snowboard finals.

Citius Altius Fortius Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Lysacek wins Gold!! I just saw Plyshenkos free programme, which was technically fantastic (altough I find it a little bit boring) - I didn't have a change to see Lysaceks' programme Edited February 19, 2010 by Citius Altius Fortius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guardian Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Well, Lysacek beat Plushenko by technical marks, according to the CTV commentators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinhu4ever Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 It's true, they've got the same marks for their Program Components, 82.40. Evan beat Plushenko on Techinical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athensfan Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I have to say that I think this new scoring system is an improvement. It may be complicated, but it does a good job of trying to evaluate every aspect of a program as carefully as possible. It is MUCH less subjective than the old system. Most importantly -- the right athletes are winning the medals. I've felt that way throughout the GP season and through the Olympics as well. THRILLED that Lysacek won. Somewhat disappointed that he skated so carefully. Would have preferred to see a little more fire and freedom. A little surprised they gave him a level 4 on his circular step sequence. It's been a 3 all year. Then again they awarded Plushenko a level 3 where previously he's gotten a 2. Plushenko was definitely not his best either. It was clear that whoever won, the margin of victory would be small. Personally, I believe Lysacek totally deserves his gold. Glad for Johnny Weir's personal victory, but it's true that the transitions and choreography were nowhere near the complexity of the other skaters. I think his placing was pretty fair, though I think his performance/execution score and his skating skills should have been higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athensfan Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Really irritated with some of the naysayers (Elvis Stojko). For heaven's sake -- look at something other than the quad. Yes, he did a quad. I'm sorry that's not a gold medal by default. His choreography was bizarre and he's lucky he scored as well as he did in the Program Components. There's no way Plushenko and Lysacek should have been tied in that area. Lysacek was OBVIOUSLY stronger. As for the jumps, Evan landed 12, most of which were in the second half of the program. Plushenko landed 11 (including the lauded quad), most of them in the first half of the program. Plushenko was noticeably awkward on multiple jumps. Stojko claims that this means young skaters will say "We don't have to do jumps. All we have to do is spins and fancy footwork." That's garbage and it's really minimizing what Lysacek has accomplished. Lysacek won on Technical Elements -- not Program Components (where he should have been scored higher as well). This wasn't a triumph of "dancing" over athleticism. Stojko was a jumper lacking in artistry. It's no surprise that he would side with Plushenko. The truth is, all the athletes know the rules before they structure their programs. Plushenko could have moved a jump or two to the second half of his program and that would have made the difference. He chose not to. He knew what he was risking. As for the choreography, I maintain that he should count himself lucky he wasn't marked down for ridiculous gyrating hips.

The Tower Bridge Fox Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Elvis who? I don’t agree with that article, the quad just makes it jumping contest , with increased likelihood of falling, I like to think the artistic and the technical go hand in hand, if there isn’t the control to show finesse it can’t be as technically good.
