2013 Italian Nationals (19-22 Dec)

Oh gosh I had forgotten that ...surely you can forgive me I seem to have supressed the memory of anything to do with that awful program :/ I like carolina but i just think that 70 points is too high for a program with that technical content JMO

Her PCS at 36+ means 9+ on average for each component.
I would put her SS at 9+, IN, CH at 9+, but TR should be in the 7. P/E for today should be in 9+, too.
So at most, her PCS should go down by 2 points max.
I think 68 is a fair score for this kind of skate. The jumps are easy, but that's reflected in the TES already. Her PCS should be very high!!!!

Great score from Carolina. When i watched the program i didnt expect 70 i expected more like 67-68 because of the 3T2T but good on her anyway. Program looks great

Hope she can deliver tomorrow a good 3Lz and 3F+3T

"Too much" considering the Nationals standard? Makarova received 66 for her Merylin Monroe program with one fall and many mistakes last year!

66 is awful for an LP (which was her Marilyn Monroe program) , did she get 66 for her SP? That SP was/is nice though.

I really like this program, the second half is especially interesting!

I think it was for Pcs... 66 for that program was way too high....i agree that 70 is a little infilated but for how she skated Carolina really deserved 36 on her pcs

She can add a 3T basically on any jump: 2A, 3F or even her 3T. And add a third jump combo. This is impressive. Thank you

I think she could have done 3f3t but the size of the rink is too small and she wasn't sure. ..

She was just fabolous! And, it was a 3F+2T. (Her PCSs are the highest ever given in any competition to any lady! )

But 6 clean triples for nationals is more than enough.

Stunning performance.

She could add some transitions before some of the jumps though.

I would have given her 10 on every PCS just because I was pissed at the scores she got in Goden Spin of Zagreb SP And in the end, why not? She is the world champion, the first lady ever to get the title in Italy. And she has two great programs
Her face when she saw the score was priceless. No harm was done, she is a smart girl and knows she won't receive the same marks in international events.

she won't ever receive 76 in pcs but didn't she deserve these points today? boy what a program!!!! spectacular!!!!
she didn't receive gifts on her technical mark and still she has room: add the 3toe after the flip or the other toe plus a 3 jumps combo and the score will be higher!
