Russian news about KOC protest. They are saying that Adelina had only ONE mistake in her free skate. She did a mistake but the difficulty of her program was higher then from Korean skater. Also Tarasova (Coach): " Olympic games are free of manipulation, never had, never will have. And they (Koreans) better watch skate of their own skater which is definitely extraordinary athlete but on last Olympic games (2010) I thought she got too high scores compare to Mao Asada (PS She is Mao's choreographer). And by the second score Mao should been ahead of Yuna. It was impossible to compete. Adelina won so fair, over-jumped, her rotations were on different level. Adelina's win was pure." Then they are talking about Russian pair split. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbdjMdHnfVA -from fb
again I listened to (non-Russian) commentators during Yuna's free program, noting imperfect reception on a triple lutz, saying that the results would be tight, then that her program was maybe not enough to beat Sotnikova.
Yulia no acclaim? Come on. We've discussed this plenty to know she has acclaim? Euros Gold, two GP gold and a GPF silver. Not worthy of acclaim. How about being the best female skater in the team OLYMPIC event which landed her a GOLD medal. I'll even give you Caro over a Yulia in the SP. Yulia was still the best...no argument! Lets at least be real about it. I didn't see a Russian judge or tech specialist in Japan for WC's. Was that rigged too? She scored a 207 there!!
which is an error, since in fact, all the elements have their value !
everyone noted the small error in the jump...so Yuna and Adelina were not perfect...
discussion between the commentators after 5'45: superb, she has nothing left, but it is very closed, there is room, a difference of 5 points in technical elements, not good enough ...
I remember a commentator at the 1998 olympic games, won Lipinsky, who pointed to Kwan that she had room and the possibility of adding a triple in his free program...
If only it were just gossiping and rumors...they have also launched attacks on Adelina, Russia, Putin and Cinquanta.no proof of course about everything ! just gossip gossip gossip like chickens in a coop making a lot of gossip noise
You guys have already belittled Adelina all over the internet and on every Youtube, every forum, every news media related to Sochi. Thousands of thumbs down on every Adelina video. Death threats were already sent to her, her social media sites have been disfigured by the legions of Yuna hooligan fans. She is only 17, and her "mistake" to suffer vilification and her life made hell was to be awarded OGM over Yuna, who has already pocketed her first OGM. Yuna's fans are determined to RUIN Adelina, a 17yr old and a very good figure skater in her own right, for shame!
As for SP & LP, the judges for SP awarded Adelina TES GOE marks HIGHER than Yuna, despite a 1 pt TES BV advantage for Yuna. How do you explain the conflict of interest there?
Already for SP, judges marked Adelina as a technically stronger skater.
Statistically, you can't take total GOE of one skater and compare that to another, as the Base Value of their technical elements are different. It's comparing apples and oranges. So more accurately, we need to arrive at a RATIO of TES/BV
GOE awarded as a RATIO of TES are as follows
Yuna = 35.89/31.43 = 1.142
Adelina = 35.55/30.43= 1.168
Adelina's award over Yuna for SP = +0.026
The LP BV difference is 3.94.
Adelina's total TES/BV = 75.54/61.43 = 1.229
Yuna's TES/BV = 69.69/57.49 = 1.212
Adelina's award of GOE over Yuna = +0.017
So the judges during the SP were even MORE generous (150% more generous) towards Adelina's GOE than the judges in the LP. Yet there were NO PROTEST when the SP results were out.
LP judges were slandered accused of fraud, corruption, dragged through the mud, etc., yet they were LESS generous towards Adelina than the SP judges.
EDIT: As was pointed out, I mistakenly used PCS scores for SP. In fact, the SP judges were even MORE generous than LP judges, they gave 250% higher GOE than LP judges.
So the SP RATIO of TES/BV
Adelina = 39.09/30.43 = 1.285
Yuna = 39.03/31.43= 1.242
Adelina's GOE (as a ratio of BV) AWARD over Yuna for SP = +0.043
In contrast, Adelina's GOE (as a ratio of BV) over Yuna's for LP = +0.017
SP judges awarded GOE advantage to Adelina = 0.043/0.017x100% = 250% MORE than LP judges.
So WHY is it that ONLY LP judges are singled out for allegations of fraud, attacked for bias, etc., when they in fact gave a much lower % of POSITIVE GOE to Adelina over Yuna than the SP judges?
The award of GOE to Adelina vs Yuna by SP judges over LP judges is MUCH BIGGER than what I pointed out.
2014 is not 2010. Skaters have improved. In 2010, I agree that Yuna was the better, however, I (and others) did not accept a so large gap between Yuna and Mao (more than 18 points in the free program), one might think that Yuna has been widely overscored in 2010.
