Although I have no idea why the heck we are comparing Kostner to MALE skaters, I would say her skating skills are the greatest that I've ever seen from a ladies skater and better than Takahashi's.Kostner has it in the bag. The judges love her sometimes a little too much. She can beat the Russian babies but can she beat Yuna. I still think Kostner is overrated. Her skating skills are not comparable to Takahashi or Chan yet she is treated like she is the greatest thing since spandex or flesh colored tights. I think you have to worry most about Ashley Wagner rather than Osmond. As for Korpi - she is a beautiful girl but I hope she doesn't medal Somehow I find the finnish girls awfully lucky. Lepisto eeked out a bronze that I think could have gone to the no 4 lady or even Phanuef in 2010.
And if I remember correctly, her PCS really hasn't been that inflated (if at all) compared to the top skaters in other desciplines. Except for Euros, her scores have mostly been capped around the low 8s, and sometimes she even gets high 7s. I'm not sure what you are complaining about.
