Funny because the Chinese judge ranked the Russian pair ahead of the gold-medal favorite Chinese pair! 

It's actually the American judge who scored the Chinese ahead of thr Russians.

Chinese fans are furious with that Chinese judge but you are right some other judges apparently hate Russian more.

Well, he was proven guilty 4 year ago. Despite being the Games during the covid time, these people would be watched not only by public. And I don't think they want to allow similar type of fiasco at the home Games..... Maybe this dude was offered some sort of redemption .....

5 europeans, 4 north americans/asian judges but the judging favors China.

Still it’s reported that China purposely reduced judges from ex-USSR and East Europe countries.

It would be interesting to know what is the Dutch judge doing on the panel since usually only judges from qualified nations (in the specific event) get invited.

Karen Chen completely ruined any chance  had of winning the team event.

Assuming the order of these 5 nations remains unchanged in each event, should win by 3 points.

Does Canada have any real shot at catching Japan for 3rd?  Seems unlikely to gain back 5 pts now.

Not really. It would take a miracle. Honestly given the lineup Canada has, fourth place is an amazing result.
