Personally I don’t think any skater with weak laboured stroking, who doesn’t use the entire ice surface, deserves 9.54 in skating skills, even if her elements are clean and tidy. And jumps that go up and down in the same spot with no height, no ice coverage, and no running edge coming out of them, don’t deserve +2’s and 3’s for GOE just because they’re done in the back half of the program with a hand over the head.

All things being even, I think more Canadians will be happy with a gold than Americans would, even if we outnumber you by nearly ten to one. Hockey is your national sport; here it takes fourth place behind Unprosecuted Assault (my name for the festival of violence that is the NFL), baseball and basketball. Most Americans wouldn't even notice if we won the gold in women's hockey.
So go ahead, Canada, win the women's hockey. Celebrate it. Have parades. You've earned it.

Are there any guidelines wrt how to come up with a PC score? Shouldn't there be? I realize it cannot be exactly mathematical but there should be guidelines such as mentioned by DL to assess skaters consistently and fairly in accordance with their true skating skills.

I still would have given the FS and overall win to Medvedeva (greater balance, transitions, performance), but can't complain really as Zagitova was magnificent. But poor Evgenia, I feel so bad for her with all the work she's put in. Plus, she seems to be a wonderful girl with a great attitude and personality. I hope she sticks around for Beijing 2022 and takes it…..
