carolina gets a 64 with a 3T+2T and a 3L? i know she had high PCS but i feel the judges were quite generous in that aspect...
Congratulations to Leah Keiser on her first place, it seems she had trouble on her flip toe combo, and her score is not as high as she can but I hope she has a great free skate, I like her skating alot!
He gave a bad skate. The CoP says he gave a good skate.
I just took a look at the ladies' protocols. I realize that Carolina has excellent spins and skating skills, but a 3t2t combo and 3lp befits a novice skater. The juniors are even required to do a lutz this year in the sp.
Pathetic! I can't stand Carolina for her being overscored repeatedly with a novice level jump layout.
I pray that the Juniors coming up next year will up the technical ante in Seniors because Carolina is doing 1980's jump content and is winning.
Older skaters like Carolina and Alissa might be in a bit of trouble as the Juniors get more experience.

No, whining about it on a skating forum is pathetic. Kostner started 2010-11 injured and scaled down her jump content because she wasn't allowed to train 3F and 3Lz. She did eventually bring back the flip, but the lutz remains an issue. That's one jump. How many ladies are doing all the jumps and doing them right? How many ladies are as strong across the board as Carolina is? It used to be that people complained that Kostner was winning with messy skates. Now that she's winning with clean but simpler skates people are still complaining. Are the other ladies skating well enough that her results should be questioned? No, they aren't. Go read gkelly's post; that's a very good explanation of Kostner's scores.Pathetic! I can't stand Carolina for her being overscored repeatedly with a novice level jump layout. She has been quite 'consistent' and 'successful' for the past 2 years by massively scaling down the jump difficulty. It's beyond pathetic.

I have to disagree. He would have needed to score 90 + for cop to say he gave a good skate., 70 + are now just ok skates
