Closest competitions in Figure Skating | Dramatic and Controversial wins on Ice

[@FigureSkatingFan]

One of the most iconic competitions with a small margin of winning, by just over 1.31 point, was the showdown between Alina Zagitova and Evgenia Medvedeva in OG2018. But do you know there were at least 10 times in the past whereby the skaters won by this small margin? What were the drama and controversies behind those wins? In this video, we selected 6 of these tiny wins to talk about. Let's take a look 😀😀

[@АлинаАзарова-о2е]

Alexander Zhulin about the OI 2018: "It seems to me that the situation was extremely difficult. Evgenia had an injury, and the Russian Figure Skating Federation was working to ensure that Alina Zagitova's grades were higher. Our country needed a gold medal at the Games. As a result, Zagitova got it, not Medvedeva" In general, Zhenya was exchanged for gold. It seems to me that Tutberidze also did not believe that Yevgenia could be perfect

yuzuru hanyu once said that every time he skates, he bets his life on it. and it shows in his performance each time. i hope he wins more world titles especially the Olympics next year. his first 2 competitions this year were not first placers but he is still the greatest for me ^_^

While watching this... There are a lot of great skaters like Evgeni and other's but Yuzu is so different, his humility and humbleness incredible, even being winner or not.

[@FigureSkatingFan]

Yes! Yuzu's humility and humbleness despite being the GOAT are really some of the qualities that continuously draw new fans into the sport 💓💓

[@imaextreme]

@@aniawacht3882 Not sure, maybe in the vids you watched? but when there are group performances, they always pick Hanyu to be the last one to do exhibitions and others, I don't think it is always intentional. If you've seen him long enough, you will know how humble he is, esp. with his colleagues. He is competitive, yes, but very respectful.

Yuzuru was 0.15 points ahead Jeremy Abbott at NHK Trophy 2014 and that tiny margin qualified him to GPF 2014 at which he won gold medal. I know it wasn’t a win but still a dramatic result, not to mention NHK Trophy was only 3 weeks after the accident at CoC

[@FigureSkatingFan]

Yes! We actually are brainstorming some other video ideas to portray that. As NHK was just a qualifying event and that's not a win like you said, but he qualified for GPF after that COC crash and went ahead to win GPF that year was epic. Will think of other storylines for that. Haha stay tuned for more videos to come 😆😆

I thought about the original post only 😄

[@yohanes2034]

First of all, great video! I want to comment on several things: 1. LOL on Plushenko because after he went all mighty with quads and technical difficulties, he forgot to check his own tech score sheet because he only had 0.1 BV ahead of Lysacek. Well I don't like Lysacek either and never understood his skating so I don't have any particular preference on who should have been ahead. 2. While I think ice dance is the discipline where the podium usually is separated only by decimal (due to how similar the starting BV between skaters) World 2014 was indeed very close. Imagine if that happened in other disciplines, that would be bonkers. 3. Great example on Yuna, Mao, and Miki Ando. It must have been a roller coaster of emotion between those 3 skaters. Having skated your best, getting WR, but then still not winning the competition. 4. Hanyu winning over Machida was also very surprising. I forgot how close it was until I watched your video.

[@FigureSkatingFan]

Right??!!! Yeah with all the hoo-ha from Plushenko after losing it, we went to check his own tech score sheet and he only had 0.1 BV ahead of Lysacek... Like seriously!! I remembered someone questioned him those days and he was like, oh his SP was under-scored, he should have won SP with over 5 points difference from Lysacek etc etc. So much drama.. Yeah in general I don't like Lysacek either and that's probably the worst era of men's skating (no one cared about men's events those days though :P Most fans were zooming into the drama of Yuna vs Mao in OG 2010) Hanyu is the one who drew all of us into men's figure skating it seems. 😀😀😀

[@taniashmu]

@@FigureSkatingFan I loved the 1998-2010 era the most. I never was a fan of Plushenko, but I totally loved Yagudin. He's a genius and my all time favorite followed by Lysacek whom I think to be an exciting and interesting skater. Lambiel was brilliant and stylish as well. Nowdays I'm a fan of Nathan Chen.I'm Russian btw, but I must say that Plushenko and Mishin's behaviour was just disgusting.They shoud be ashamed of their campain before and after the Olympics. Lysacek not only won rightfully on the ice but behaved as a decent human being.

[@FigureSkatingFan]

@@taniashmu I prefer Yagudin over Plushenko as well back in the days

[@taniashmu]

@@FigureSkatingFan I think that back then we had more different styles and approaches. I love Hanyu as well. He has his so special touch, but I prefer Nathan's way to compete, to present himself on the ice. Their rivalry brings to the fans a lot of sparkling moments. Having said that I still think that with all these quads something is missing, or maybe it just me getting older.🙂

[@FigureSkatingFan]

​@@taniashmu I understand haha.. Back then you see a lot of different approach and innovative sequences. But as the programs are getting more and more technical, there's not a lot of rooms for those moves that doesn't bring in points. One thing I really miss in ladies skating -- the long spiral sequence! Sasha Cohen SP in Worlds 2004 is forever my favorite SP! :P

[@SpiffyBlueness]

WOW I only started watching FS in 2014, and I mostly watch the men, basking in the friendly rivalries and sportsmanship, so that 2010 podium clip was really, really shocking. I'm glad you ended with the montage of hugs. I could watch that all day. One of my favorite moments is still the Yuzu/Javi/Shoma hug in PyeongChang.

[@FigureSkatingFan]

Yeah new fans who started watching post 2014 would never realize how intense it was. Back in 2010, there’s the Mao / Yuna (Japan / Korea tension in ladies) and the US/ Russia tension in Men’s.. so much politics involved. Gotta say Pyeongchang was the best and purest of them all!

[@MirkaImagination]

That hug is so sad, and funny at the same time :,) while Yuzuru is crying because Javier is telling them he's going to retire, Shoma doesn't understand a thing they are saying, and just stands there 😀

[@DRdreamer23]

Yuna and Mao were so adorable and exciting to watch

[@brian5619]

Aside from Adelina's "miraculous" PCS growth for the same programs in just 2 months, in what universe could Adelina receive a higher total GOE with her ugly air positions, flutz, underrotation and step-out compared to a CLEAN Yuna Kim in both the short and the long? Adelina's scores at Sochi were asinine. Still waiting for justice...

[@FigureSkatingFan]

Probably it will never come. I mean, We all know what happened but.. it's not uncommon to see some defending Sotnikova's scores though..

[@yohanes2034]

I don't know how someone can defend Sotnikova's score though. It should not be even close. It's not like we're talking about Yuna/ Mao/ Kostner and who was better that night. Sotnikova has never won anything big prior to Sochi and suddenly her PCS grew 20 pts over couple of months? Not to mention her technical shortcomings (simply by calling Sotnikova's 3Lze-3TUR would flip the podium)

[@FigureSkatingFan]

@@yohanes2034 I agree. Just saw that funny comment in our community post a few days ago in fact :P Someone defended Adelina's scores were saying something like her Base value was higher etc (Then Mao Asada should have won that event based on that theory :P)..

[@yohanes2034]

@@FigureSkatingFan that BV difference if I'm not mistaken is less than 2 pts combined from both SP ad FS (before Lakernik marked yuna's stsq lv 3 on both) because Sotnikova did 3T-3T and Yuna 3Lz-3T. So that 7 triples vs 6 triples argument does not hold much water. Yuna could close that point easily by GOE and PCS. PCS alone should close the gap.

[@FigureSkatingFan]

@@yohanes2034 So true. Actually the only 2 questions we need to ask were - 1. If that event was not held in Sochi? 2. If Adelina is not a Russian? Then would she have won the event? I guess most fans know the answer

I love the ending part with athletes hugging each other. It's so sweet. Like after all the fierce competitions, they come back to each other.

"I hate what figure skating has become: no artistry, just a jump-fest." Five seconds later: "Plushenko completed a quad so of course he should have won gold." Good grief. Listen to yourselves.

What about Evan and John who tied at Nationals with the tie breaker going to Evan.

Alina.

[@酢酸-x3x]

ライサはジャンプ汚いんだよね。 着氷綺麗じゃないし、アクセルはネイサンと同じでバクセルだし、ルッツはエッジエラーだし、構え長いし。 繋ぎだって、言われているほどプルシェンコと差はないよ。 オリンピックの演技もクロスカットばっかりでSPのPCSの差が全くもって理解できない。 アメリカ男子って大体トリプルアクセル苦手だよね。 みーんなバクセル跳んでる。 まっちーはジャンプの前の構え長すぎてGOE高すぎだね。 オリンピック後の世界選手権でボーナス点的なイメージかな。

ソチ五輪の後の世界選手権は、採点が甘々だったという話は、聞いたことがあります。女子もそうでしたし。

[@酢酸-x3x]

@@LenaLight0204 そうかもしれないですね。

あと、女子の見逃し加点の話はよく聞きますが、男子の見逃し加点はあまり聞かないです。

Per me Alina è la persona che mi ha fatto innamorare di questo sport, adoro tutto di lei e penso che sia stato l’atto più alto della giustizia che abbia vinto la medaglia d’oro alle Olimpiadi e poi ogni altro titolo nonostante tutto hate che riceveva💔

[@antoniovivero8914]

Totalmente de acuerdo! Jamas olvidaremos que se hizo justicia en esas olimpiadas. ALINA ganó el oro olímpico con mucho esfuerzo y corazón !!! Ya será 4 años de aquello, pero es inolvidable esa perfomance SWAN LAKE y DON QUIJOTE, verdaderas obras maestras en el patinaje artístico sobre hielo.

[@ИванИванов-к2ш4ь]

Когда оценивать качество катания будет компьютер. Может выяснится трагедия проигравших спортсменов которых просто засудили. Интересно когда же мы узнаем эту правду? Или спорт останется в рамках здесь и сейчас. Политики и приоритетов

Honestly, I’m still mad that evgenia didn’t win gold. She had a very serious injury before the olympics that caused her to change her whole routine for one less demanding. And she’s such a great skater and she is so passionate on the ice...she really should have won (but I understand why she didn’t)

[@qiqisongs]

She didnt change her program. Even without her injury, she has never landed all her jumps in the second half of the free skate in 2015-2017.

[@butterfly6546]

Why didn’t she go to the Paralympics then

[@meanieangel]

@@qiqisongs really? I had read that she had and that she injured herself again after the olympics that caused her not to be able to do any more biellmanns. And yes, ik about her jumps that’s why I said that I understood why she didn’t win but it doesn’t change the fact that she was my favorite for gold

[@meanieangel]

@@butterfly6546 i honestly don’t know, maybe her injury was not enough for her to go to the paralympics or maybe it was too late already or maybe she just didn’t want to

[@RedShoes29]

For someone whose rise was historic, Alina Zagitova is now largely forgotten outside of Russia and FS circles, similar to every Russian champion (Adelina for example). I literally have never heard of her until I started following FS news after the recent doping scandal. It's so sad that we don't have any new icons like Yuna Kim.

[@KiffiStinkt]

Meanwhile zhenya will always be remembered

[@sanderslol6694]

Медведева и Трусова как минимум впечатлили свои имена в мировом фигурном катание

[@chelyvi7466]

​@KiffiStinkt Honestly I remember her mostly because of her poor technique, specially on the Lutz. She was cute but that's it.

バンクーバー五輪の件で、プルシェンコがライサチェクに敗北した原因は、新採点の対応が足りなかったそうです。確かに、４回転を跳んでましたが、入り方の工夫があまり難しくない、3回転のジャンプを見ると、軸がブレブレのものがあったり、着氷が乱れているのがありました。ライサチェクの場合は、シニアの国際大会に勝ったことがある実績を持ってますし、そこまで、不自然な優勝ではないと私は思います。連覇阻止された原因は、選手や試合によっては違いますけどね。フィギュアは、高難度の高いジャンプを跳べればいいというもんじゃありませんからね。完全に余談ですが、2人のGOEを見ると、女子金メダリストキム・ヨナよりも低いです。 メドベージェワとザキトワは、FSの得点が同じですよね。歴代のFSの得点の差が一番最低という感じですね。ショートの得点でメダルが決まったと。ただ、こんなことは言いたくはありませんが、ソチ団体銅メダリストのワグナーからは、ザキトワの演技を見て、「前半は時間を潰して、後半はジャンプを跳ぶだけ。これは演技じゃない。」との厳しいコメントが。ザキトワが後半のジャンプを全部成功したのがきっかけで、後半ジャンプは3つまで、というルールが作られましたからね。あと、完全に余談ですが、平昌五輪では、男子以外、得点の差が1点前後なんですよね。金銀メダリストそれぞれスターの選手でしたね。 ソチ五輪の後の世界選手権で、最も合計得点の差が最低なんですね。しかも3位まで。これはよく見つけたなと。それぞれですが、過去最低の得点の差でSPでは、トリノ五輪女子:0.03、FSでは、平昌五輪女子:0、合計点では、世界選手権2014アイスダンス:0.02なんですよね。 世界選手権2007で、SPでは、キム・ヨナがトップなんですよね。しかし、フリーでは自爆しちゃたんですよね。自爆しなければ金をとっていたでしょう。浅田さんがフリーで逆転したものの、ショートの点数が低かったのが原因で、金に及びませんでしたね。安藤さんが、SPもFSも1位でもないのに、合計点が1位だなんて驚きましたよ。ほとんどの金メダリストを見ると、SPまたはFSのどちらが1位、あるいは両方が1位なんですよね。 平昌五輪前のGPFで、宇野君とチェンがお互いミスしまくりの接戦状態だったんですね。転倒や回転不足の判定を受けながらでも、SPもFSも点数の差があまりないのが驚きでした。 ソチ五輪の後の世界選手権で、羽生君が、SPの4Tでミスしてしまい、出遅れしまいましたが、FSでなんとか逆転したって感じでしたね。それぞれ、2位3位だった町田君とフェルナンデスは、五輪の時は、ミスが多かったけど、世界選手権では、多少ミスがある程度でしたね。ただ、こんなことは言いたくはありませんが、五輪の時よりも、採点が甘々だったというコメントがしばしばありました。

Теперь трагедию Жени на себе прочувствовали сестры Аверины. Всё покупается, всё продаётся. Женя могла выкатать прогу, АК за 4 месяца до ОИ выучила. А Загитова два года одно и тоже катала. Ей за одно это могли снять баллы, но...блат и Татнефть- ген спонсор ОИ 18 подсуетился. Так кто из них был сильнее, а кто слабее ещё вопрос. Судя по тому, что Загитова уже в 17 лет ушла на пенсию, завалив в своей взрослой карьере 70% соревнований, настоящей Олимпийский чемпионов 18 года является Евгения Медведева. АЗ- фейк! Вспомним Минск, Ванкувер, Турин, Милан...провалы на ГСах. Женя себе такого не позволяла!

[@Redoaltor]

Всё программы Медведевой с 20-15 по 2018 - одинаковые, там только музыку меняли. В этом был секрет её стабильности. Ну и в отсутвии конкуренции - тогда было болото в ЖО. Медведевой попытались поставить программу 0-7, но на такую сложность не хватило таланта. Поэтому на ОИ победила лучшая и сильнейшая.

[@olgasmirnova4588]

@@Redoaltor всё проги одинаковые у Заги. Пол года во взрослых и она больше уже ничего не выкатывала. Тарабарская бравурная музыка, потому что она ничего в нотах не понимала, прыгала, как получится под пам- пам.
