Athletistic/ Figure skating. Today, October 21, the first day of the second stage of the Russian Figure Skating Grand Prix took place in Omsk. In particular, the results of the short program aimed at sports couples were summarized. Alena Kostornaya and Georgy Kunitsa showed the fifth result. Olympic diving champion Elena Voitsekhovskaya spoke about this.
– The trial of Alena Kostornaya and Georgy Kunitsa is an excellent test of the professional aptitude of judges. In terms of speed, glide, program presentation, composition (i.e. everything that constitutes the second note), the duo was definitely the best of the entire line. The most expressive, for sure. At the same time, judge #3 (too lazy to look at who exactly) gives the couple a score of 6.75 for two positions.
The only clear explanation I can find for this situation is that judges are always guided by something external. On the rating, on the results of previous performances. But here, there is no audience, no performances, and something has to be done. It’s scary: what if you don’t guess? — wrote Voitsekhovskaya on the Telegram channel.
