The ice dance judging was problematic, yet again. Sinnitsina & Katsalapov were gifted with top levels on the TR sequences and a higher base tech mark than the French. Their skate was a mess of sloppy steps, balance checks and numerous errors all along the way, and yet they got positive GOE on every element. Like the rest of us didn't even see it happen.

What sence does the above tech panel make?
Canadian federation has a history and habit of raising all sorts of protests. Why didn't they or anyone else raise any protest if there was an incorrect judging in the RD?

There's nothing to protest. But S&K were gifted with undeserved levels and not minused for obvious mistakes. I would have had them behind the Spanish.

I still don't get what you are alluding to.
I see a judging panel where all competing nations with the exception of the LTU pair were present. No Asian nation, yes, but neither CHN nor JPN had a competitor either (are there other Asian nations with Dance teams? Sorry, if I forgot them).
There's two North American judges, five middle/west/south European ones and two more "eastern" ones with RUS and ISR. If you are trying to allude to favoritism based on geography, I'd imagine the panel might have been pro-P/C, if anything.
Also, S/K got good GOE over the entire panel of Judges, so what is the panel supposed to tell me?
