Analysis
Focusing on the distribution of the top 50 records by country, there are 34 records from Russia(highlighted in purple), 14 from Japan(highlighted in pink), and 2 from the USA(highlighted in blue). However, there are always repetition of the same skaters attending different competitions. Figure 1: Distribution of the top 50 records by country
Moreover, skaters from Russia are more likely to recieve a FS score that is more than two times of their SP scores. This is because the SP do not include quadruple jumps, which sets a limit of the technical scores. In addition, most of the Russian skaters have the ability to complete quadruple jumps, which makes them more competitive to achieve a higher score.
