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!

By the way, has she ever performed a clean and flawless free program? I think I've just seen it the first time. Last year's World was close but she doubled the second Flip.

OMG, i love it. I don't recall Caro performed a clean and flawless free program. This program has both flip and lutz, and all 5 different triples, all with correct edge. Bonus point for this please.

[Riemann]

Much better execution than in Zagreb, but that FS is still incredibly awful, IMO. Oh well, different strokes as they say.

Yes, I don't like it a lot, the red one was a lot better! Politicking against Tessa Virtue by igor Shpilband?

This is a temporary dress since she is reworking the red one

Yes I heard its going to be stunning, ready for Europeans, Anna portrays a brilliant Carmen she has those facial expressions. I really hope they get the silver there or at least bronze.

[dorispulaski]

I'd love for them to win silver or bronze! Both their dances are great this year! I'm glad to hear the black dress is just temporary, because she is so stunning in red.

[Icey]

Strictly speaking it wasn't a flawless program, Carolina traveled significantly on one of her spins. That is, of course, nit picking. It was a wonderful skate, but the pcs seems too high.

[bluesky85]

I wonder what kind of score she would have received had it been an international event like the Grand Prix or Euro, or World, etc.... She looked absolutely wonderful, but then I don't remember anyone receving that high score except Yuna in Vancouver...

[skatel80]

Well done Carolina! she really skated like a champion, that free program was beautiful even if the score was ridiculous again (IMHO) It doesn't really matter as she was a clear winner here obviously! Great to see her doing the lutz again, even if this one was a bit two footed it was still big and fast, Its also obvious in this program how she has refined her skating, really happy for her

Yes, she doubled the second Flip and that was intentional. She decided that before taking the ice with his trainer. I don't understand why all says she did a mistake there.
By the way, you think 70 was much as she doubled the second toeloop in the combination, but she got 6 points for her fabulous step sequence, and that is what none has got before and so well deserved. Take it in account and you see that the points she lost on the jump are on the sequence
