1. [+17,027, -1,419] I think the judges got better than when Kim Yuna was there

2. [+11,604, -1,926] They followed the rules but had different strategies. So I don’t get why the crowd booed. Both of the skaters gave spectacular performances.

3. [+6,043, -298] Yeah~ I understand how they must feel but you can’t blame it on Zagitova. If you want to blame someone for it, blame the people who made up the scoring method. She pulled off a lot of jumps in the second half of her performance that take a remarkable amount of physical strength. If a figure skater takes bad risks, their whole performance can be ruined. I think not a lot of people can pull of such a trick.

4. [+5,283, -325] I also had my doubts about Zagitova’s performance but the real winner shouldn’t be booed at all. She got those results by giving all of her energy into her performance.

5. [+1,465, -89] The skaters don’t pick their own scores so I feel like it’s wrong to attack Zagitova over it. She’s still just a 15 year-old girl. It’s not strange that she thought “it’s better to cram in jumps for the second half” rather than giving a whole artistic performance.

6. [+1,155, -149] Everyone competes under the same rules. She didn’t do anything wrong as an athlete. If you have complaints, then the other skaters should gather up their jumps for the second half.

7. [+81, -5] She got such results because she was looking for a way to win, it’s not wrong
