Yeah, the pressure must have been enormous. If they downgraded the twist to triple then they would lose gold. But it was a quad based on TV replay

It sure looked like a quad in real time.

Yeah, it looked like it alright but it was flagged as 'yellow' during the programme so the judges really wanted to take a second look

well that was a very quality final . each of those 3 teams could end up on top of the podium but at the end of day only one of them could win the gold.

how tall is Han Cong ? he is VERY strong for someone at his size.

He is 1.70m and Sui Wenjing is 1.50m. They just accidentally match.

I mean, this specific example didn't make any difference on the final score, but it's interesting how some judges don't even bother to stay unbiased.

 

Sui downgraded the 3S. It should automatically get -5 from each judge. It's not up for any debate. But this downgraded salchow only got -3 from Wang.

His arm muscle build is very minimal to say the very least. He must use all his strenght from the hips/legs rather than arms.

he looked smaller than 170cm to me . so he is not that short after all ( still short comparing to those Russians )
it seems he could have a successful career in weightlifting. but I'm glad he picked a different sport

 

Congrats

I think you guys have higher standards in Poland your sister would be considered very tall for a woman here

 

I'm couple centimeters shorter than 195 and my friends consider me the tallest person in the town

 

yeah I know 170 is still short but I thought he is 160 or something by his look. so 170 was taller than my expectation at least.
