Yet Carolina got higher PCS here than Akiko at NHK, with only 1 clean 3T here, 2 <, 1 stepped out 3Lz ... man oh man... the COP scoring system/judges are a funny bunch aren't they.
Nice to see her going for the 3lutz though and the program has potential

Hmm. Did Kostner get 47.xx tech mark for long then? Does that mean she has to get higher score at Euro to compete in World?
Who cares how short it is, figure skaters have to jump so it doesn't matter anyways.
I am back home now. Could not stay for the gala. My head was falling apart.
Carolina had somewhat conservative layout of jumps, but she did try lutz and i think it is a very good sing.
My impression is that she wanted to let herself go to the music. The program is slow and it is somewhat strange seeing Caro skating slowly BUT it is very smooth and looks sophisticated. She is being flirty and I love it. As the rhythm picks up (the cut of the music is maybe a little off) she picks up speed but it is very hard to notice when & where she does starts gliding/skating faster.
I'm not complaining. Its just you always see people on here and other forums blast her for her short dresses
and say that you could see her crotch.
and yes her dress is short and it doesnt seem to fit her well at the top, but it could just be me. colour is nice.

No she has reached the minimum last year a lot of times. There never was a problem and not her goal today. She just wonted to get out her programs and was happy to do it.She got 47.37. Since the minimum is 48, you are correct.

In the gala she skated to It's Oh so quiet and got a standing owation
Yes, it looks like that all the others gain "reputation points" when they win big competition, she simply doesn't Anyway, I hope the judges in the big competition will give her the marks she deserve! (And, no, 64.99 is not low, but if you compare it to Korpi's 69 with the same jumps...)
Enlighten me please, when did Korpi receive 69 points?? More than Mao or Ashley and almost as Yuna? I tell you, never! It is not possible with that kind of jumps.
Finlania Trophy, where she received 33+ PCS... It was in Finland and with the home crowd advantage, I agree, but it was still an international Senior B competitionEnlighten me please, when did Korpi receive 69 points??

You won't. If you look at Italian National scores, they generally are quite the same as the GP and Euro scores.Wait to see Carolina at Nationals, very soon. She will get 69 if you want that but it will do no good to her. Home judges always give a wrong impression, instead of showing from the begining what the skater needs to improve so that he or she can be succesful on the international scene.
Do you remember if she tried 2A+3T or 3F+3T?I wish I could be more informative...
My wireless was acting out and I was freaking out during the warm up. I do remember her trying lutz. She did not go for the triple but just practiced the take off.
