In view of Nelli Kim's recent interview , Lupita and I thought it timely to revisit the performance of some of the WTC President's judges over past competitions ... this article from 27th August 2012 is reposted here, as a reminder. You will find a link to the FIG's newly published book of results at the Olympic Games here . This year, they have broken down the judge's execution scores so you can see exactly how each judge evaluated the gymnasts' performances. It makes for interesting reading - if only I had more time to analyse each judge's marking. A skim reading already highlights multiple inconsistencies in individual judges' marks and makes you wonder why they bother with the jury at all. I have taken the time to look at the reference judges' scores for the top four in the women's all around. The FIG explains here what their role is, and how they are selected. I even used my calculator, which is a risky thing in my hands. M
Ok, if IOC will ban whole Russian team from Rio, that means that we will see Mustafina in Tokyo 2020?
ReplyDeleteIf so, her supreme performances in Bern are to be her swan songs, I suppose.
DeleteI doubt we'll see Aliya in 2017, let alone Tokyo! There's now even a chance we'll never see her compete again!
ReplyDeleteSigh. This is all so awful.
All the United States papers are stating the ban went through....WTF?!!! These are reputable papers.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
