Yes, the Italian commentator said that the 3Lo was UR and received -1 and -2 GOEs for it...This Italian young lady--maybe a baby Carolina in the making? Lowish score, maybe UR's?
I usually don't mind them, but since it isn't an Egyptian-themed piece...
It was an immediate gut reaction (in like the first 4 seconds) before I heard the rest of the music. And it should tell you just how cheesy those hand gestures are that they are used interchangeably for middle East and far East pieces. Grrrrrrrrr.
are those people out on the ice human zamboni's or what? lol
I thought Laetitia Hubert retired the title of Human Zamboni....
Lipinski was 15, and already had a World title under her belt. Her tech content wasn't great, but she did have amazing artistry. I would hardly consider Lipnitskaia or Pogorilaya the best in Russia, though I can see the argument being made for Tukt and Sotnikova. So, yeah--in this case, age does matter.
Huh? Lipinski's tech content wasn't that great? At the 1998 OWG, Lipinski opened her FS with a double Axel, a triple flip, a triple Lutz/double toe loop, and a triple loop/triple loop combo, a triple Lutz, ending with a triple toe-half loop-triple Salchow. So how many ladies are doing this much technical content today?

Sorry, I should have made myself clearer. She had difficult jumps, but the way she executed them wasn't spectacular.
And a lot of ladies, actually. Many juniors and almost all of the seniors from the US, Japan, and Russia.
