Worse than figure skating is the slopestyle and halfpipe where there are almost no set criteria for how points are accumulated. And the judges get to discuss with each other the scores before they are locked in.

More transparency in how the scores are arrived at would be a good thing

Here you go. The scores for each element are available almost immediately online for those with access. After the event, the scores are available to everyone.

To summarize, Sotnikova beat Yuna Kim by about 5 points and most of that was because her skate was more difficult, including more triple jumps and a Lay Back spin that was ranked higher. The difficulty was enhanced because of the bonus points awarded for having jumps in the last half of the skate.

Also note that her stumble on the double toe was taken into account but as Kurt said, it's not a big deduction since the base rating wasn't high to begin with.

They were pretty much tied on Program Component Scores - basically the wow factor, taking into account choreography, interpretation, skills etc. This I don't really agree with but 8 of 8 judges disagree with me. It's hard to prove a scandal when all the judges are in agreement.

Like all judged events, the lowest and highest marks are thrown out.
