no, to me it's only on the rules

if it's 2 out of 3, it should be obvious that they have to be 3 different tricks (and then the 2 actually best scores count)

ps I'm sure Italian coaches know exactly what they were doing

still, I think they took the wrong decision

it's the first thing I wrote: rules are rules

so, I'm totally aware that she had to keep that (underscored) 84 and had no chance for a better medal

but nobody will make me change my mind about the fact that the rules are wrong (if it's 2 scores out of 3 jumps, it should be mandatory to make 3 different jumps and take the best 2, not changing the score of an already good effort)

 

and you all know the rest about my opinion on these events and the competitions decided only by the judges' taste

She didn’t have to keep the 84, she made the choice to keep the 84.

Grab is extra points, multiplies by difficulty.  Tips of the skis, not so difficult.  On the boot, very difficult.  Also landing shows if the rotation is complete.

But presumably there is still an execution score element? Which is why Tabanelli scored higher than Muir for doing the same jump? She did the jump more 'cleanly', at least in my inexpert eyes.

British people tend to turn on cursed athletes sadly and get fed up of the unlucky losers. 

Definitely not my English relatives.

However, if that's the general consensus, then British attitude has to change big time.

But how long have you been saying this? Just a question. 

 

If there's posts of you saying this earlier, I'll gladly take it back. 

I've always been thinking that, but never wrote about that, as usually I don't care much about the "artistic" disciplines and I don't watch a lot of them

Thanks for the explanation, I'm not sure how to feel about those rules but I can see how important creativity is in such a sport.
