No kostner should not win. Yuna should because she does jumps in her programs to a respectable level. Kostner and Mao Are terrible at jumps. They are the worst.
Yeah Liza and Adelina are the first Russians to medal since slutskaya but lizas loss shows how jumps basically don't matter anymore. Yuna could do Mao or kostner jumps but doesn't. She tries with jumps with 3/3 and lutz and flip in free skates. Yuna has everything even though jumps are irrelevant.

Kostner is lucky that Europe is weak in Ladies with the exception of the Russian girls. Being as young as they are was asking to much at this time despite the jumps they just don't have the reputation yet.
But Costner actually tries to improve) She added lutz and 3f-3t? The commentator said that was the jump she planned...not 3f-2t) so I'm okay with her!) she really is beautiful on the ice.
Liza delivered a 7 triple program, with the complete set of 5 triples. And she had no flutz or lip, no downgrade. It has been a long time since we have seen a program with such level.
Liz was 10 points higher than Kostner in TES (70 v. 60), but somehow Kostner was almost 10 points higher than Liz in PCS (61 v. 70). The latter will not happen come Sochi, and Liz will destroy Kostner. The technical content of Liz's program is more than impressive. I think Adelina also showed that she is legit. This year's Worlds, and the upcoming Olympics, should be very exciting!!!
Liza's FS simply left me speechless! Only one word: PERFECT!
The former will not happen either. 70 TES is almost the best she can do. Kostner lost about 7 points on the 2 double sals. And she can replace a double toe with a triple. I am not sure she can deliver a consistent 3f3t, but a 2a3t which she did last year is in her capability range. So she is definitely capable of scoring 70 in TES. I do not see how Liz can destroy Kostner when Kostner does not make multiple mistakes.
ehm...at least wait the start of the competition. If carolina skate cleans with a triple triple and not doubling the salchows she is up there with kim. Kim has jumps carolina doesn't do? sorry? di I see wrong or carolina landed a perfect lutz and a flip in the long? maybe you mean that carolina has jumps that kim doesn't do...since the loop is out of kim's plans. If they both skates clean kostner has a slightly edge over kim on the technical elements since carolina plans 7 triples while kim plans 6; carolina has way better steps than yuna, I would say that her seq counts like anothet triple. As for the PCS sadly judges will reward yuna more than kostner something I cannot understand since I find Yuna's program flat compare to carolina's.
