Everybody needs to see Carolina's "non-jump" elements. Steps, Spirals, spins... Everything was first rate.
She also has the best skating skills, choreography, etc.
She missed 2 salchows, but landed the more difficult triples(Lutz, Flip a Loop).
As if we don't know already, Figure skating is a sport that is built on reputation and sometimes your country.
Why even have a competition then?
mmmm ok....maybe you forgot that there wasn't an italian judge on the panel..but there was a russian one...it would be so easy to put her behind sotnikova
So why call it a sport then? Lets just call it exhibition skating. No wonder skating doesn't get any respect.And who cares if kostner did any triples! Triples are meaningless
transitions
I doubt it. Nikol skated pretty well but Alena has the potential to score 30+ points higher.
I think she got a huge score for thisI really hope Caro did not get +GOE on her 2S or 2S combo.

If Carolina does a 6-7 triple program- she can get close to Yu-Na or even win!
If Mao or Carolina win only 3-4 triples
then I hope Yuna kicks everyone at Worlds
it's not that tutkamisheva and sotnikova had more transitions....
Russian Fed should do a test skate with Nikol, Alena, Ksenia
She had the skate of the night!So impressed with Liza.
