In the end, the judge was mostly in the middle of what everyone else gave. Obviously Grassl first is a choice and also the Donovan score sticks out, but most everyone else is right in line in a night that no one quite knew what to do.

You’ll see for Junhwan a 7th place ordinal, but it’s the same score that Switzerland gave and was worth 2nd on their own score card.

I'm just isolating the judge's own PCS rankings, not the relative scores or overall scores, or how close they were to other judges. Looking purely at how they ranked the skaters:

Tied for 1st: Shaidorov, Gogolev, Grassl
Tied for 4th: Kagiyama, Torgashev, Aymoz
7th: Cha
8th: Siao Him Fa
9th: Rizzo
10th: Sato
11th: Britschgi
12th: Naumov
13th: Egadze
14th: Gummenik
Tied for 15th: Miura, Malinin

When looked component by component, the ordinals in the Men FS appear all over the place for many. Just like the skating that evening.

Pre-Game interview with the Dutch officials (Prins and Nicole van Gerwen – Maas)

‘Je hoopt op perfectie, dat je een tien mag uitdelen’

Zonder officials geen schaatswedstrijden. Twee Nederlandse officials zijn bij de Winterspelen in Milaan actief bij het kunstschaatsen. Nicole van Gerwen – Maas (57) uit Riel en Jeroen Prins (62) uit Amsterdam hebben beiden ruim veertig jaar ervaring in het jurywerk.

Some snippets

What are you most looking forward to in Milan?
Prins: .....The most beautiful thing that can happen is when skaters perform perfection on the ice. Seeing that happen right before your eyes is truly amazing. I've experienced it three times, most recently at the European Championships in Sheffield with the French ice dancing couple Laurence Fournier Beaudry and Guillaume Cizeron. When I saw that, I thought: if I don't give this a 10, what else do they need to improve?”

van Gerwen: “I hope to experience it too....I once gave a 10 at the 2016 World Championships in Boston, to the American single skater Ashley Wagner. .....I'm looking forward to the competitions where I'm in action myself, which does require enormous focus and concentration. At the end of a competition day, my head is often full and I'm completely drained.”

What did your final preparations look like?
Van Gerwen: “You have to make sure you're fit. That means going to bed on time and eating well. Other than that, you mainly prepare mentally. Make sure you know the rules well. I also practice a lot with video clips of routines from previous competitions, just to train myself in scoring.”

Prins: "Last weekend, I rewatched all the routines from the Helsinki GP, including slow-motion footage, with my notes. What can we learn from that?"
