Ballade uses three different time signatures that are all featured in this music cut:
1. 4/4 for the Intro (opening pose)
2. 6/4 for the program body (difficult rhythm)
3. 2/2 for the coda
Hanyu manages to switch immediately from 6/4 to 2/2 when going into the StSq.
I've looked at today's protocols, Lorrie Parker inflated Nathan, Vincent and Adam's scores at the 2018 Olympics and the Japanese judge did the same today for Yuma. Nationalistic bias will always be there.
I am a ISU qualified judge from Ukraine. I decided to judge Yuzuru Hanyu's 4CC 2020 SP because I think the judges there were a little reserved in awarding scores. (thread for GOE explanations)
