he is a bit unpredictable also because
you never know what he's going to do
A jump landed with a Twizzle spin out
no way
A jump fall disguised with a split
What are some of the most impressive jump save in the competitions?
Yuzuru Hanyu saved a jump (4Lz) with deep knee bend
That was amazing he's able to save that jump!
Deep knee bend!
But sometimes deep knee bend can't save you from GOE deduction
GOE point will be deducted if there is a loss of flow in the jump landing
oh isn't that fantastic to see Hanyu there?
he knows what it feels like
What cause GOE deduction besides falling?
Touch down with one hand or one foot
Touch down with the free foot
it's just a slight stumble coming out of it
Some judges are more strict, some more lenient, causing the differences in judging
Fighting for it
Because of the pandemic, his training has been affected
Touch down with both hands = GOE -2 to -3
i think it all comes down to doubt
She was thinking "can I do it?" and that's what causes this type of landing
a major mistake there on the triple Axel (3A)
second 4F attempt
still rotated
that will only affect the grade of execution
Sometimes this landing will be considered a fall
This was considered a fall by the judges
2 Three-turn between jumps = GOE -2 to -3
Three-turn happens when skaters struggle to slow down the jump on landing
fighting to hold on to that 3Lo
Judges seem to be more lenient on three-turns GOE deduction in Worlds 2021
Step out of landing = GOE -3 to -4
He stepped out of it
Step out happens sometimes when skaters went into the jump with too much force
barely hold on to that 4T
holds on to that 4T
major mistake right here on the triple triple
only getting off the first triple
Landing in 2 feet = GOE -3 to -4
This mistake is barely visible but penalized severely
slight two-foot landing there
Loss of flow / weak landing / Long preparation = GOE -1 to -3
This is the most controversial GOE deduction
Judges might give different judging in different events
Judges seem to be very lenient for this type of landing in World championship 2019
a bit low lying there but still complete the jump
How did he hold on to that?!
This jump save looks cool to fans, but judges disagree
Master of 3A save | Team Japan
Some jump save were severely penalized because they look like fall
Sometimes you get GOE deduction, sometimes you get away
Some GOE deduction are barely visible and therefore controversial
Unclear (!) / wrong edge (e) take off = GOE -1 to -4
Sasha's Flip jumps were always called out for unclear edge issue (!)
Unclear edge ! is subjected to GOE deduction of -1 to -2 in the judging guide
But judges don't always follow the guide
Another controversy is the inconsistency of judging
a little bit flat-footed on that Quad Lutz (4Lz)
watch the take off
it's just a blur
which means it could be slightly under rotated
Russian figure skating federation called on ISU for inconsistent judging after Anna Shcherbakova was called out for unclear edge in all her Lz in COC 2019
Since then, judges seem to have stopped calling out on Anna for that issue
But for skaters without strong federation support, they continuously suffer inconsistent judging here and there
Another GOE deduction that could stir uproar from fans is
Under rotation (q, < or <<) = GOE -1 to -4
A jump rotation is measured by take off curve and landing curve
skaters landed short of 1/4 rotation will be marked "q" and given GOE -2
Skaters landed short of 1/2 rotation will be marked under rotation "<" and given GOE deduction of -2 to -3 on 75% of base value of the jump
Skaters landed short of more than 1/2 rotation will be marked downgrade "<<" and given GOE deduction of -3 to -4 on the lower jump (eg, 4T >> 3T)
Let's compare the GOE of skaters for the same jump with and without "q" call
There is one mistake most severely penalized
It's worse than fall!
When you "pop" a jump
You will know whether you can land a jump the moment you take off
Really?
like you know if it's not going to be successful before you land it?
Yes, that's when we "pop" a jump which is quite common for skaters
It's like we wanted to go for quadruple jump, but it become single, double or triple jump in the end
This was Sasha's 2S where she planned 4S
really rushed that take off
here's another 4T
with that 4T, she would have become the first woman ever to land four quads in a single program
In some situation, you will get zero point if you pop a jump (not just zero GOE, zero total score)
Yuzuru Hanyu Skate Canada 2016 SP - zero for this element (2T)
It's a bigger mistake than it looks
2S..
not an element in the short program
he will not get any points whatsoever for that effort
it could potentially cost him about 14 points
when you factor in the base value and the grade of execution that he could have gotten
so absolutely dreadful error
Hanyu: All because I "popped" that 4S!
