Well done Adelina!!!
But, for me, it is still:
Advantage, Miss Kostner.
(Why, oh why, did I ever swap them at the last minute in my predictions list...?!)

WHAAAAAAAT????!!! 
I love Adelina and I know that was a beautiful skate.
But, for me, that should not be ahead of Kostner! Caro's was more beautiful.
On the plus side, that's the order I put them in for my predictions.

Please. Her PCS are ridiculous given all of her shortcomings.

Adelina and Kostner have almost the same PCS 
I mean, I don't even like Carolina, but really?

I noticed that too. I actually thought they scored Carolina a little low on the PCS end...I expected her to be higher than that, like around 34 or 35...
I can't exactly argue against Adelina's PCS though. She skated with a lot of speed and attacked everything, plus her transitions were very nice as well and she delivered the program with a lot of energy and fire. I don't disagree with her PCS but I do think Carolina should have been higher.

Russian pcs infilation - part 1 -
Whilst all of the above is true, there were also things she was not good at:
She had slightly raised and rounded shoulders, producing a 'turtle neck' effect.
Her lines weren't always fully extended.
Her movement was not executed in time to the music a lot of the time.
Her movement was quite generic. It lacked style and character, appropriate to the music. It wasn't very sharp or staccato (which the music was) and I didn't see any 'Spanish characetr' in it. If the music was off, would you be able to guess what kind of music she was skating to (not judging by the dress)? I don't think so.
With 39,59 points. Incredible.

Actually, I'd consider Adelina to be a 2nd tier PCS earner along with Akiko and Ashley when she skates like this. So 33 is pretty fair. I do think they held Carolina back a bit in PCS...I expected her to hit 70 with her performance here, so if anything I think Carolina was lowballed more than Adelina was inflated.
