Result and subsequent debate

Seventeen-year-old Adelina Sotnikova won the gold medal with an overall score of 224.59 points, becoming one of the youngest figure skating Olympic champions and edging out silver-medalist Yuna Kim, the defending champion who was in first place after the short program, .28 points ahead of Sotnikova.[2] In the free-skate program, Sotnikova performed, in terms of base points, a more challenging routine than Kim, giving her more opportunities for points:[2][3][4] In addition to more triple jumps and more difficult footwork (as determined by the caller), Sotnikova performed a double Axel-triple toe, a challenging combination that Kim did not attempt.[3][4][5] However, Sotnikova's routine also featured a relatively significant error—she stepped out of a jumping combination, while Kim's program was executed without any glaring missteps.[6][7] The judges assessed Kim's free-skate program as having demonstrated greater artistry; her component score was .09 points higher than Sotnikova's.[2] But Sotnikova's base technical score (a measurement of the difficulty of executed moves) was 3.94 points higher than Kim's, and her grade of execution score—based on the average technical evaluation of each element, examining whether the proper edge was used, the speed carried into and out of a jump, jump positioning, and more—was scored 1.91 points higher.[2]

The results sparked a debate over the judges' objectivity,[8] spurred in part by the composition of the judging panel, which included two Russian officials, a Russian judge and a Ukrainian judge.[9] One of the Russian judges was Alla Shekhovtsova—wife of the former president of the Russian Skating Federation—who Sotnikova embraced (amongst others) prior to the flower ceremony.[10][11][6] Over one-and-a-half million people signed a petition calling for an investigation into the outcome.

Several commentators attributed the result to the revised scoring system that had been adopted in 2006, a system generally thought to "favor mathematics at the expense of artistry."[11][2] Alice Park, writing for Time, suggested that, contrary to popular belief, Sotnikova's surprising win was a consequence of objectivity rather than subjectivity: Specifically, she argued, the redesigned scoring system heavily rewarded technical difficulty, giving a substantial advantage to those with more challenging starting programs, while de-emphasizing the judge's impression of performers.[4] Bryan Armen Graham, writing for The Atlantic, suggested that the polarized reaction to the result was due to a generational gap brought about by the changed scoring system, saying, "Those who came up watching figure skating under the old 6.0 system are probably accustomed to more leeway in the judging."[7] Some in the skating community also seemed to take this view: While noting that she "personally enjoyed Yuna Kim's performance more," Michelle Kwan, two-time Olympic medalist and five-time World champion, stated, "Under the scoring system, hands down, Adelina won."[12] Similarly, four-time men's champion Kurt Browning said that "Yuna Kim outskated [Sotnikova], but it’s not just a skating competition anymore—it’s math."[13] And Scott Hamilton, the 1984 Olympic champion, said that, while Sotnikova's skating was not as aesthetically pleasing as Kim's, her athletic style "check[ed] off every box" and "d[id] everything the judges are looking for."[11]

Beyond the scoring system, the results seemed to divide former professional skaters: Katarina Witt, a two-time Olympic champion, said, "I am stunned by this result, I don’t understand the scoring."[14][15] Two-time bronze medalist Michael Weiss attributed Sotnikova's scores to "home-field inflation."[16] But three-time world champion and two-time Olympic silver medalist Elvis Stojko said that the result "was totally fair," as "Kim didn't have enough technical ammunition."[11] And Alexei Mishin, the Russian 1969 world medalist and coach to three Olympic champions, said that "Sotnikova's victory [was] absolutely natural and objective."[17]

Official responses

On 21 February 2014, the International Skating Union (ISU) issued a statement which asserted all rules and procedures were applied during the competition and declared confidence "in the high quality and integrity of the ISU judging system", noting "judges were selected by random drawing from a pool of 13 potential judges" and that all nine judges on the free skating panel were from different nations.[18]

On 10 April, the Korean Olympic Committee (KOC) and the Korean Skating Union (KSU) filed an official complaint with the ISU Disciplinary Commission (DC) concerning judging. The complaint was regarding "the wrongful constitution of the panel of judges and the unjust outcome of the competition". It requested that the DC conduct a thorough investigation, "take appropriate disciplinary actions against the concerned individuals", and institute corrective actions. On 14 April, the DC ruled the complaint inadmissible because a general request for investigation is not within DC's jurisdiction and the complaint was not addressed at an individual or federation as required.[19][10][20]

On 30 April, the KOC and KSU filed a second official complaint with the DC. This time the complaint was against Russian judge Alla Shekhovtsova and Figure Skating Federation of Russia (FSFR), specifically citing a hug Shekhovtsova shared with Sotnikova and Shekhovtsova's marriage to the current Director General of the FSFR. On 30 May, the DC dismissed the complaint. It ruled Shekhovtsova "is not responsible for the judging panel's composition", her marriage did not create a conflict of interest, and since Sotnikova initiated the hug, Shekhovtsova did not break any rules by responding.[19][10][20]

place on 20 February 1 Adelina Sotnikova of Russia won the gold medal generating much controversy over the partiality of the judges and the new scoring system Ladies singlesat the XXII Olympic Winter

Overall 5 Judges and officials 6 References 7 External linksResult and subsequent debate EditSeventeen year old Adelina Sotnikova won the gold medal with an overall score of 224 59 points becoming one of the youngest figure skating Olympic champions and edging out silver medalist Yuna Kim the defending champion who was in first place after the short program 28 points ahead of Sotnikova 2 In the free skate program Sotnikova performed in terms of base points a more challenging routine than Kim giving her more opportunities for points 2 3 4 In addition to more triple jumps and more difficult footwork as determined by the caller Sotnikova performed a double Axel triple toe a challenging combination that Kim did not attempt 3 4 5 However Sotnikova s routine also featured a relatively significant error she stepped out of a jumping combination while Kim s program was executed without any glaring missteps 6 7 The judges assessed Kim s free skate program as having demonstrated greater artistry her component score was 09 points higher than Sotnikova s 2 But Sotnikova s base technical score a measurement of the difficulty of executed moves was 3 94 points higher than Kim s and her grade of execution score based on the average technical evaluation of each element examining whether the proper edge was used the speed carried into and out of a jump jump positioning and more was scored 1 91 points higher 2 The results sparked a debate over the judges objectivity 8 spurred in part by the composition of the judging panel which included two Russian officials a Russian judge and a Ukrainian judge 9 One of the Russian judges was Alla Shekhovtsova wife of the former president of the Russian Skating Federation who Sotnikova embraced amongst others prior to the flower ceremony 10 11 6 Over one and a half million people signed a petition calling for an investigation into the outcome Several commentators attributed the result to the revised scoring system that had been adopted in 2006 a system generally thought to favor mathematics at the expense of artistry 11 2 Alice Park writing for Time suggested that contrary to popular belief Sotnikova s surprising win was a consequence of objectivity rather than subjectivity Specifically she argued the redesigned scoring system heavily rewarded technical difficulty giving a substantial advantage to those with more challenging starting programs while de emphasizing the judge s impression of performers 4 Bryan Armen Graham writing for The Atlantic suggested that the polarized reaction to the result was due to a generational gap brought about by the changed scoring system saying Those who came up watching figure skating under the old 6 0 system are probably accustomed to more leeway in the judging 7 Some in the skating community also seemed to take this view While noting that she personally enjoyed Yuna Kim s performance more Michelle Kwan two time Olympic medalist and five time World champion stated Under the scoring system hands down Adelina won 12 Similarly four time men s champion Kurt Browning said that Yuna Kim outskated Sotnikova but it s not just a skating competition anymore it s math 13 And Scott Hamilton the 1984 Olympic champion said that while Sotnikova s skating was not as aesthetically pleasing as Kim s her athletic style check ed off every box and d id everything the judges are looking for 11 Beyond the scoring system the results seemed to divide former professional skaters Katarina Witt a two time Olympic champion said I am stunned by this result I don t understand the scoring 14 15 Two time bronze medalist Michael Weiss attributed Sotnikova s scores to home field inflation 16 But three time world champion and two time Olympic silver medalist Elvis Stojko said that the result was totally fair as Kim didn t have enough technical ammunition 11 And Alexei Mishin the Russian 1969 world medalist and coach to three Olympic champions said that Sotnikova s victory was absolutely natural and objective 17 Official responses Edit On 21 February 2014 the International Skating Union ISU issued a statement which asserted all rules and procedures were applied during the competition and declared confidence in the high quality and integrity of the ISU judging system noting judges were selected by random drawing from a pool of 13 potential judges and that all nine judges on the free skating panel were from different nations 18 On 10 April the Korean Olympic Committee KOC and the Korean Skating Union KSU filed an official complaint with the ISU Disciplinary Commission DC concerning judging The complaint was regarding the wrongful constitution of the panel of judges and the unjust outcome of the competition It requested that the DC conduct a thorough investigation take appropriate disciplinary actions against the concerned individuals and institute corrective actions On 14 April the DC ruled the complaint inadmissible because a general request for investigation is not within DC s jurisdiction and the complaint was not addressed at an individual or federation as required 19 10 20 On 30 April the KOC and KSU filed a second official complaint with the DC This time the complaint was against Russian judge Alla Shekhovtsova and Figure Skating Federation of Russia FSFR specifically citing a hug Shekhovtsova shared with Sotnikova and Shekhovtsova s marriage to the current Director General of the FSFR On 30 May the DC dismissed the complaint It ruled Shekhovtsova is not responsible for the judging panel s composition her marriage did not create a conflict of interest and since Sotnikova initiated the hug Shekhovtsova did not break any rules by responding 19 10 20 Records EditFor complete list of figure skating records see list of highest
