Mao Asada vs Adelina Sotnikova - Sochi Olympics is a Scam

Why were all of Mao's UR's and edge violations called but the same judges and technical panel FAILED to detect ANY of Adelina's errors?
ISU is a scam and Sochi was a mugging by the RSF.

[@ersatzproductions753]

In comparison to Adelina, the judges had always hated Mao in terms of GOE and would kill her whenever possible. Of course, this is how the rules are supposed to work(though I feel like starting around 2010 the judges started really hating Mao) but it’s so frustrating when a great skater with good technique(on some skills) gets hammered for UR whole another does not. Also, wth are these PCS, forget Adelina for a moment. The judges never lowballed Kim these games (just inflated the living lights out of Adelina), why is Mao’s PCS under 70? Since they’re consistent with the rest of the season that’s crushingly disappointing bc even if she skated cleanly she would probably have ended up no more than 3rd despite having the hardest program, jeez.

[@everynameiwantedwastoolong6887]

Ersatz Productions I agree but yuna (and Carolina and Gracie) was underscored heavily in the TES (69.69 with a clean skate while mao’s great but flawed program had 73.03) and in the PCS (she was barely breaking 9.0 in a lot of them). Also, from what I’ve seen the rule for mao was “never score correctly” and for yuna it was “if she is perfect slightly underscore her and if she is flawed destroy her pcs”

Pretending to be injured just so she can be in a dance show in Russia, then being in one competicion, "winning" a bronze that she didn't win but again the judges gave it to her even after a bad performance and then "injury" again and more dance shows. Forget about the medals, she was a coward because she knew she was not the champion but instead of fighting to be better and prove the world she could have been a good champion she ran and hide in shows where she has been treated like a goodess.

[@johnjackson3735]

One thing that the corrupt judging and tech crews rely on is tricking people through the principle of inversion not only in PCS but also allegedly objective tech calls. For some reason, people are more willing to be hoodwinked by judges if they base their deception on contradicting physical reality. In this way, people halfway fall for a full-blown farce. In other words, skaters who deserve tech calls like under rotations have them overlooked while those who have jumps rotated are given ur calls. For example in this performance, Mao's triple loop and triple toe ur are more rotated than others in the competition who had their backend ur jumps overlooked. This is consistent with Mao having a lower PCS score compared to others even though Mao had the greatest rink coverage with a lot of transitions indicating great speed as demonstrated by heat maps.

NicoleGZ actually if you look at the footwork, Adelina also has much better skating skills than Yulia. more speed, skating on edges, more flow. Yulia skated on flat edge. most of the time. the only thing Yulia did better was spin speed and position, but she also travelled more than Adelina. Yulia had the better program, but thats it. if both are clean, Adelina is better than her. Adelina deserved bronze here, and even if Yulia were clean, she wouldn't. she was cute and swindlers list was beautiful, but her actual skills weren't great. she was by far the worst of eteris skaters.

paolo salucci she was cleaner yes, but i did like maos a lot better interpretation wise. Yuna was amazing too, as always, bit for me it was clear that mao should have win the segment. (i am aware that my opinion does not matter in judging)

[@johnjackson3735]

Lena with a Box Mao gave a cleaner performance. A great lie in scores is more likely to be believed at least to some degree because few will dare to see all the way to the depth of a full blown fraud or total inversion in scores even if the ISU, IOC and even JSF organizations present compelling evidence that they are blatantly corrupt and determined to undermine Mao especially, with a mouthpiece press backing the ISU favorites. The IOC has consistently targeted Mao as the unfavored even in retirement, after the IOC posted that it had removed Mao's two most watched videos of this Sochi LP performance both with about 3 million views to prove how fixed the scoring and view counts really are with favored other videos left untouched. Likewise, Mao's training was rigged against her by the corrupt JSF that forced her to train in a sandy and bitterly cold rink at high elevation with less oxygen in Armenia against her team's urgent requests to return to train in Japan not to mention the would be saboteur, former Japanese PM Olympic official, who publicly humiliated Mao for her SP difficulties after being complicit in undermining her training by doing nothing to help her. Yuna Kim is a very good skater, but Mao was always given harsh edge calls while Yuna's on the flip were usually ignored and Mao was always given extra harsh and or bogus ur calls, not to mention the drastic rule changes and application of them in Yuna's which occurred near the time Yuna moved to Canada to train in Canada with the famous Canadian skater and coach Brian Orser and with the upcoming Olympics in Vancouver. This resulted in a precedent of systematic prejudice against Mao and profound numerical and press undermining of her talent for outstanding spirals, spins and step sequences, great artistry and rink coverage with transitions and her challenging tech content. This hounded her throughout her career not only in relation to Yuna Kim but in relation to numerous other more favored ISU skaters. No better example of injustice against an athlete exists than the person who yelled at the top of their lungs for Mao to fall just before her second triple axel in Worlds LP in the US in 2009 which can clearly be heard over the music on video of the performance yet no announcer even mentioned it and there was no recourse to justice in a competition she was already underscored in. In terms of Sochi, a good example of the corrupt judging is also the fact that Mao's triple flip and triple toe were more rotated on landing than Yuna Kim's solo triple lutz and solo triple, yet Mao received the ur calls. The rigged ur calls are merely an extension of the bogus PCS scoring with Mao having by far the greatest rink coverage as a heat map clearly shows with all her jumps positioned at the corners of the rink against the boards and with more transitions and intricate edging which should have easily won her first place in PCS as well as tech, but instead she received 5th place PCS and not even first place tech despite having 5 points higher base score than Adelina and 9 points higher than Yuna Kim both of whom should have scored much lower than Mao.

@@johnjackson3735 yeah i agree (you can frase it much better than me)

[@glensaulo378]

until now I still don't know how she won :/

[@whitecat3923]

Same....Sotnikova should give her stolen gold back!

[@user-is9zj2ln1v]

Only 0.10 difference in the step sequence huh lol im shook. Even in those spins sotnikova has 3’s all over while mao’s is full of 1~2 which I really can’t understand

[@r.h.9376]

Forget the TES and jumps for a minute… how did she beat Mao in SKATING SKILLS?!!

Adelina has not shown her face since Sochi. Sad. Guess Russia really wanted that gold.

[@mattg.812]

Who was the Technical Caller at this event? That should answer things.

[@user-gg5ly7wk1q]

There is the fact that making russian who claimed sotnikova deserved gold medal frustrated.
