Do the math correctly, and it should be obvious Canada deserved to be elevated to the bronze medal spot in the Team Event at the 2022 Beijing Games. Why that didn't happen is still a mystery.
Fully agree that the Japanese winners of the team event should get 10 points for each segment, and that Schizas should get 9 for each segment, which would further alter the final standings. It doesn't make sense to let the women's event be undervalued compared to the other events.
A related point - the pairs short program and the men's short program were down to 9 participants due to positive COVID tests, and the winners of each segment earned 10 points for those.
That's interesting about the pairs and men's SPs ... so they were overscored given the smaller fields. I also like the 'undervalued' logic you're using. At the end of the day, it's all just a mess that, again, could be corrected with some simple math being applied.
