Lots of people's subjective and opinionated comments are made here without being backed up with anything. Fact: Osmond is a great skater and she skated very good in the sp. Fact: I never said anything about Osmond's score, just that politically skating in Canada after a long Canadian ladies talent drought (Joannie notwithstanding), KO's gotten a lot of hype and cred that has raised her profile and stature in the eyes of the judges, which is unusual for a skater just out of juniors.
All power to Osmond because she has a pretty cool demeanor. She's obviously gonna go places combined with her talent and her cool head for competition. Yet and still, since she's Canadian skating in Canada, she's also going to be heavily supported and boosted her first time out of the blocks. If Worlds was taking place in Japan right now, believe you me, some of these results would be different. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
By whom do you think she is being boosted exactly? Yes Canadians are happy to have a good skater, but the judges don't care about that. They are not going to give her good marks only because Canada hasn't had a good ladies skater in a while... I have no idea what you are talking about.
