In this very performance (2001 Worlds) Michelle would get "<" for her 3T, "<<" or "<" for her 3F and both flutzes were very borderline and they might get "<" as well.

No-- she would get 3Lo<<<<<<, 3T<<<<<+3T<<<<, 3Lz<<<<<e+2T, 3S<<<<<<, 3F<<<<<<, 2A, 3Lz<<<<<<e !!!!!

1. Slutskaya had much bigger flips than Kostner with more speed going in and out of them. She could also do them out of different entrances.
Show one that is better than this.

2. 3Sal? She did 3Sal/3Lo in 1997 and many times afterwards. I think that is a testament to her domination over that jump (the easiest triple jump, mind you).
Most of those would be downgraded.

3. 3Lo? The one she popularized out of 3 turns which Carolina now does? Could to 3Lo/2Lo as well out of the 3 turn entrance - she did this in 2005, IIRC.

4. 3Lz-2Lo? She did several ratified 3Lz/3Lo combinations. 3Lz/3Lo was her standard SP 3/2 Combo from 2000-2006.
And so did Miki. Ratified under harsher rule.

5. Slutskaya did 3T-3T in her Nagano free skate. 1998... That wasn't the only one, either.
Of terrible quality.

Irina isn't good at most jumps?! OMG, have you ever seen Irina jump? If you say that Irina's jump are weak, what can we say about Michelle's jumps? Atrocious? Irina had twice the height: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awOB8GytS0Q

Actually her 3Lz+2Lo is better than Ando's and than anyone else's. She had huge height, speed and "explosive" is acutally a perfect adjective to describe her jumps. Michelle didn't have any flow out of her easier 3Lz+2T and her flutz was even worse. Irina took off from a flat.
You are insane to suggest a flutz is better than a lutz. Where to begin?

Irina had one of the best loops in history, higher than Carolina and with better speed. She was also able to put at the back end of a triple-triple and landed those many times in her career.
And none of those times they should be ratified.

Her Salchow is also better than Carolina's, higher and with more speed.
Show one.

You can always pick a video from youtube where a skater doesn't have much flow. You can do that with any skater. On the other hand, you can choose a performance in which she/he has great flow like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7ZaBmO-t4U&t=23s
The reason is someone said 2002 SP is the technical standard blah blah blah.

Her 3Lz+2Lo is simply spectacular and to say she DIDN't have it because she flutzed is ridiculous. Applying this logic half of the ladies have never landed a lutz including Michelle Kwan.
This is what's wrong with you.
I said Caro has great flip. Then you said Yuna has amazing 3Lz-3T that is +2 +3 GOE.
Same here. I said Ando's 3Lz-2Lo is better, and then you brought up Michelle's 3lutz. Get a gripe.

The reallity is just contrary to what you have claimed in your previous post. Irina was one of the fastest female skaters EVER and approached her jumps with huge speed. She exactly DID have speed and explosion to her jumps.
Again, show it.

Not really, because many of her jumps would get "<" and both lutzes "e"...

The trouble with posting videos is that people see what they want to see. Two people can stare directly at the stop-frame of this video at the 4:09 mark and say to each other, "See? she's clearly on the right (wrong) edge." (I was just about to post the vid with my version of "See?" :) )

To me, the 3T looked fine, the 3F looked rotated (just a little skid on the landing), both her Lutzes looked OK (on the first one she swings her leg out to the side which maybe compromises the edge a little -- the second looked good.)

Anyway, this is exactly why people have lost interest in figure skating. If the CoP doesn't like this performance by Michelle, then so much the worse for the CoP.

2005 World in RUSSIA.
Both Caro and Irina did clean 3Lo.
http://www.isuresults.com/results/wc2005/wc05_Ladies_SP_scores.pdf
http://www.isuresults.com/results/wc2005/wc05_Ladies_FS_scores.pdf

This was when they were really stingy with GOE.
Caro got .86 in SP and LP.
Irina got .71 in the LP.

Look at the GOE Caro got for her combo jump. Mostly +1 and +2.
Look at the GOE Irina got for her combo jump. Mostly 0.

And they were on Irina's turf. And Irina was on FIRE the entire season.

Get a gripe. When Caro landed her jumps, even without any reputation, her GOE were massive. Much higher than anyone else.
She's super inconsistent, but her jump qualities are just above and beyond the likes of Irina.

In 2006, at the Olympics where Caro really fell apart. Her 3Lo still got the highest GOE of the ladies competing.
http://www.isuresults.com/results/owg2006/OWG06_Ladies_FS_Scores.pdf
She got .71 GOE.
Her opening combo also got the highest GOE of any combo there.

Again, to show you and the other person that when Caro lands her jumps, she would get the highest GOE because the qualities are undeniable. Well, maybe you two can continue to deny it, but the judges sure as hell don't.

Witt has two OGM...

Witt won for political reasons. None of her jumps are particularly high quality, and she got much worse contents any anyone else in the top 6. Her fartistry is so foul, I wouldn't watch her again, wouldn't pay to see her.

I don't agree with this. Witt was sometimes lucky that strong free skaters did poorly in compulsories, such as Manley in 1988, but she generally placed below those who skated cleaner with more difficulty (Manley in the 1988 Oly LP, Thomas in 1986, etc.). There weren't any good artistic skaters during that period, but Witt was the best of the bunch.

Irina did not have flutz. Flutzing occures when you take off a lutz on an inside edge. Irina took from flat.

And none of those times they should be ratified.

I'm not going to persuade you which of her 6.0 triple-triples would be ratified because you probably consider all of them worse than Hughes' combos or something like that but nevertheless Irina had 3 triple-triples out of three attempts ratified under COP: 3Lz+3Lo from 2005 Worlds and 3S+3Lo+2T from 2004 CoR and 2005 CoR.

Show one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouT04ybd-W4&t=1m9s
Her Salchow has clearly more height and covers MUCH more distance than Caro's one. Not to mention that it is followed by a fully rotated 3Lo that WOULD be ratified today. And the speed is very impressive.

Eeee? what?

This is what's wrong with you.

Yeah, because you said that Irina doesn't belong to the greatest because her spiral was wobbly and she flutzed. Michelle also flutzed and does it diminish her overall accomplishments? Midori lipped and had a leg wrap? Does it take away from her greatness?

Again, show it.

Here you go - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czzk_6zqlm8&t=1m25s power, spring, huge speed. Such examples are all over youtube throughout Irina's whole career.

Irina landed several triple-triples that would be ratified under today's rules e.g. 3T+3T from 1998 Olympics and 1998 Worlds, 3S+3Lo from 1997 Worlds, 2000 GPF, 1998 Worlds.

As for the superiority of her much more consistent flip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QmAhFM5v80&t=1m12s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsrxgkMdt8E&2m46s
And she actually does some turns and moves before that rather than skate through the whole wink like Carolina doing nothing. Carolina's flip is beautiful but not as high and powerful.

Caro is overrated.

On the topic though, I think Mao and Yuna can definitely score 130+ if they both skate a clean program.

Both examples are so inferior to Caro's 3Flip above in both height and distance and speed and air position and everything else.
If you think a few wiggles here and there 5 seconds before the jump add anything special to the jump or make the jump better than the example above, then you are alone. Oops, no, you are not alone. There are 2 other you. Judges showed they prefer Caro's flip, and loop to Irina's. Done deal.

I am confused. I didn't know that Irina, Michelle, Oksana Baiul, Carol Heiss, & Tara were going to compete at this year's Worlds.

Can you prove this?

I would only accept as reliable and irrefutable proof:

_HD videos of all phases of the competitions (including figures) from the top 5

_HD video with dolby system audio of the winning LP including commentary by Peggy Fleming saying: "She's not just skating to Carmen. She is Carmen"

_HD video of the medal ceremony of both events with commentary by Dick Button saying "Simply the best" referring to Witt.

If you can't provide all this, please don't bother and make better use of your time doing something really productive instead.
