ITA. I called it "happy piddles" scoring . The judges were so excited to see her knock her program out of the park they let the high scores fly. There was no question she was the winner and like you said, whether she won by 5 points or 25 didn't matter b/c no one can legitimately argue that she didn't deserve to win. I do think she was overscored at worlds this year in the FS (I actually think she was a tad underscored in the SP) but in the end, she was the clear winner so the numbers are irrelevant.
since when mskater93 is a yuna fan?? she actually prefer carolina over yuna. it looks like every poster who is making sense on this thread is now a Yuna fan. simply paranoid. so.. keep it coming.
Just because you prefer one skater over another doesn't mean that you can't be a fan of both.
I personally prefer Gracie Gold to Ashley Wagner. Will I still cheer myself hoarse for Ashley at 2014 Nationals? You bet.
that's true but she's attacking anyone who dare to say otherwise.. :disapp:
I haven't seen any such attacks. Can you show me the posts?

she attacked jaylee for no other reason.. and start calling her bot, stupid, etc. when in fact when you read jaylee's post.. she was just making a case from the start.. jaylee is actually a kwan fan first and foremost.. before she became a yuna fan for your information..
Again, can you please show me the post?
I'm well aware that jaylee is a Yuna fan; I'm not sure how that's relevant.
ETA: Thank you, bara1968. I never saw the posts, but misunderstandings are quite common when communicating through text. Whatever the context of these posts was, mskater93 was making a case FOR Yuna, not AGAINST her.
actually it is relevant because not all yuna fans are bots.. some are defending her because someone call her arrogant without proof and just making up stories which is not fair.. and then start claiming that yuna only won because of cheating..talked about hypocrisy..
Wait, what? I'm not sure how we strayed so far from the topic at hand. All I was trying to say was that you misinterpreted mskater93's post to be attacking Yuna when it was simply offering a logical argument for her victory. I've seen other posts claiming that Yuna cheated her way to the gold medal and that ALL Yuna fans are Yuna fans ( ), but mskater93's was not one of them. In fact, I think that most of those posts were deleted as contrary to the purpose of this thread.
Anyway, sorry for any confusion.
I think cooper is referring "let's talk", not mskater93 in her(his) post.

...I feel that this performance would probably have won under 6.0 as well.
You keep saying it's simple math, but my simple math says if she perform first 4 jumps (3A, 3F+3Lo, 3Lo, 3Lz without UR or e)in LP cleanly with +1 GOE each, she would get almost 9 more TES than she actually got. (meaning, easily +75 or more in TES already, if she also cleanly performed 3F+2Lo+2Lo.)
Mao, on the other hand hasn't done a clean 2A-3T (no UR) at the World stage in several years
I'm a fan of Yu-Na, Carolina, Mao, Akiko, Ashley, Kanako, Adelina, Zijun, Christina, Kaetlyn, Elizaveta and about a dozen other skaters. The only skater anyone could call me a "bot" for is Michelle Kwan, though Michelle predates talk of "bots"; ubers is the preferred moniker. But even in my uberness I'm not so blind that I can't see where Michelle was lacking. Some people get so wrapped up in their fanaticism that they can't accept any kind opinion (or sometimes even facts) which contradict their views. I try to avoid those kind of people...
I enjoy skating a lot more now than I did when Michelle was competing b/c I get to cheer for everyone. That's the beauty in being a fan of the sport in general rather than clinging to just one skater. I'm not emotionally invested in any of these ladies so win or lose, I'm generally happy b/c someone I like ends up winning. I do disagree with results or criticize skaters from time to time but I don't bash skaters. I try to make all of my criticisms constructive and voice my opinions without insisting others agree with me (cause that's annoying...).
