Apparently the stalder hop full was being graded as higher than it was (my guess is they thought it was an E and it's really a D move).
How in the world can judges, for two years, not notice that they aren't scoring a routine correctly?! Does no one look at the Code of Points anymore??

The commentators I was listening to referred to it as a change in scoring rules, as if they changed it just two days ahead of time. I'll be anxious to hear more...
They would have been better off doing the same routine with the lower start point than trying to change their routines completely two days before the competition. Hindsight is 20-20 though...
I switch between CBC and NBC coverage. CBC is better in some ways, but they are more "Canadian" focused than I remember them being in the past. They did do a neat tribute thing to Michael Phelps though. I thought that was nice of them.
