Here is a list of the judges' scores and ordinals for the free
skate in the pairs competition at the world championships. The
first score is for technical merit; the second is for artistic

I find it hard to believe that *any* judge could have placed this pair in
first place! Sure, none of the pairs really stole the show this year, but
K&D had a *huge* break in the program when she fell the second time!
Didn't the error force them to leave out some important elements,
including a throw jump?

IMHO, Artur must have been given a couple of extra tenths for reputation!
If I were judging (which I was-- in the privacy of my own living room!), I
would have placed them behind Ina & Dungjen.

It seems that some judges penalized them for the break (5.2) and some
just gave them credit for the elements that they performed successfully
before the break (5.8), of which there were quite a few if I remember
correctly. Most of the judges gave them in between marks, though. It also
appears that the judges penalized them in the artistic marks, albeit to
varying degrees (5.3-5.7). In any case, it appears that not all of the
judges knew exactly how to score their program, which is unlikely given
the level of experience needed to be a judge at international
competitions. In short, the whole thing was bizarre.

Austrian judges seemed to be a bit out there during this years Worlds. The
Austrian judge in the Ladies' event (who has been the subject of previous
threads concerning her marking of Bonaly vs. Kwiatkowski) actually gave
identical marks to Surya Bonaly and Chen Lu in the SP.

Not to mention, the Austrian judge in the Men's competition gave Todd
Eldredge 4th place marks for the Long Program!

The AUS designation is Australian. Austria is abbreviated AUT.

Wereen't we just complaining about the Austrian judge's off-the-wall marks
back in Birmingham?Maybe Austrian judging schools have different standards??

Good point...kind of surprised a skating non-power like Australia gets World
judges,have they been getting credentials from Chuckie?

I gather these three-letter abbreviations are based on names in English
for the most part,but not always.

Oops! I'm curious, though, as to how Australia wound up with a judge. Are
there any skaters of note from Australia, other than "Nicole Bobeck" and
other denizens of Chuckie's alternate universe?

Australia gets a judge for the pairs thanks to Danielle & Stephen Carr,
who have most certainly made a name for themselves Down Under with their
10th place finish at '94 Worlds.

Unstated, but I believe intended: also 11th place finish at 95 Worlds.
With 3 Russians in the top 10 that year (again) and 2 US competitors in
the top 10, the pool for 96 would logically have included the following
(in the order of 95 finish): CZE, RUS, USA, GER, LAT, FRA, CAN, AUS, UKR,
& KZK. Which, as I write it, I find confusing: maybe the question should
be why GRE (no team in 1995 but one in 96)), GBR (17th behind POL), and
BLR (no team in 1995 but one in 96) had Judges in the pool and USA, LAT &
KZK did not? Speculating now (truly off the top of my head): perhaps the
latter three fedrerations did not nominate a Judge for Pairs or did but
such judge was assigned to another event he or she was eligible to cover
and preferred to do so -- in which case the ISU would have to look
elsewhere. Looking to other federations entering competitors in the event
would be logical, paricularly if an internationally recognized Pairs judge
was available from one or more of those federations.

3rd place marks for Rudy -- so at least it would be hard to call it a
national bias thing (Florian Tuma having retired after a fall in the SP).

There are usually more than enough judges for a panel nominated by the
various countries. My understanding is that each ISU-member country is
able to nominate judges in the various disciplines. From this pool, the
members of each panel are drawn, in much the same way as the skaters'
starting order is drawn. It has nothing to do with which country placed
in what order in the previous championships. That explains why there was
no Chinese judge on the Ladies' panel.
