Please don't hire commentators who cannot tell difference between 3A and 2A

[@ManwithNoName-t1o]

and commentators that don't shut up and drone on and on about stuff Nobody should ever hire that woman again

[@triplea_qgb1963]

To be fair, mao rotates so quickly that it's hard to tell sometimes. But the female commentator is way too negative on Mao's performance.

[@oceanle]

Not having the score board on the screen is silly. She landed the triple Axel.

[@Violet-xk5ud]

The commentators spoke over half her short program about raising the age limit, instead of letting the viewer focus and watch her program. Then they call a 3A a 2A, please we need better commentators next time 😢

[@Kiridiam]

Never hire these commentators ever again.. a disgrace to this sport.

[@jesuslover2468]

Dont forget the judges at this competition, too

[@user-enjilove]

Why did judges call 3lzq+3t< I can’t totally get it. It’s too harsh. Other jumps as well but especially…😢

[@chuuu4610]

Her flip during the short was also fine. It didn’t deserve the ! and during this FS I think they had a problem with every jump except for the solo 3lo and 3lz. But they seem almost equally puzzlingly strict to second place so I suppose they’re somewhat consistent there.

Fire the judges. She does NOT have problems with her flip.

The technical specialist was shin amano, a very well known japanese judge. Hes known for his strict calls

I was there for the live broadcast, but I’ve come to this video again to express disappointment that they couldn’t tell the difference between a 3A and a 2A. She did a 3A! Ffs. Anyways! Yay! Congratulations to Baby Mao!

[@worldhello7577]

Same here! I thought she did double but it was triple 😂

it just shows how much the commentators actually think they know about figure skating elements... smh

@@worldhello7577 Mao turns really fast but tbh it still looked obvious to me. Also her coach was cheering a lot in the background. I don’t like the witch but when she’s happy on the sidelines it’s generally a clue.

they couldn't even tell in the slow mo, just keep blabbing on and listening to their own voices

[@nicoletomacheski9935]

@@HelTra91 as far as I know as a FS watcher, commentators are given lists and stats of the athletes to know about they're about during the broadcast. But not these two, apparently...

So many ridiculous calls on her jumps, I hope someone does a slow mo replay of these stupid calls.

[@jackblack3934]

ジャッジがおかしい。今回のテクニカルは首。解雇。

[@kenmoreSF]

To be fair, the commentators made a mistake with her 3A calling it a 2A because she made it look way too easy.

Even I can tell it’s 3A. 😭

[@sfhayesvalley]

I think it's a great idea to hire announcer for figure skating who don't know the jumps and can't count. (Snarky. Sorry!)

[@squidolearntodab6777]

There is something about her skate that makes it so captivating and I can’t take of my eyes from her. Amazing.

Really bad commentators all in all. Not only this video. If you want to learn a bit, check Paloma del Río.

No matter how much ISU tries to push the sport back, girl with ultra-c wins

[@iosebdzamukashvili5360]

Ridiculous scoring. Guess why? Because it was in Korea and they wanted badly Jia Shin to win!!!

[@SirenMarjo]

I don't think so, Jia got bad scores too even though she skated clean. I don't know what was wrong with those judges tbh

[@HelTra91]

Nah they low balled everyone including Jia. I think this is the ISU's way of trying to convince us that the seniors are technically superior to the juniors when we all know that the Jrs technical content is the same or higher than the seniors.

[@alsoleve99]

Jia was also heavily underscored. She should have won the free skate.

[@chzhz7837]

Duh!. They lowballed EVERYONE. This is not Sochi 2.0

[@paulathomson3534]

Amazing,🎉 but I feel figure skating is all about waiting for 'jumps' now, this music is absolutely beautiful, so is she & her dress & an amazing skater..but why has it turned into gymnastics on ice? What happened to the beauty of the flow & dancing on the ice? I can't be the only one to feel this way?

[@HelTra91]
