I saw some of the first group of skaters, then had to leave the house for errands. I missed Yuna Kim and Gracie Gold, but managed to see the final group. I think both Adelina and Yulia are unpolished, especially Yulia. Yulia's juniorish skating really stood out, especially when Carolina followed with such sublime skating. Yulia creates some wow moments with her flexibility, but she is lacks connection with the music and the audience. Hard to tell on TV, but Yulia also seems slow in comparison to others. Would love to know aht people in the arena felt. While I did not see Yuna Kim skate, it is hard to believe Adelina is so close. I would like to see Kim so I could compare the two. While I do not think there is corruption/collusion going on, I do think judges, being human, are influenced by things such as skate order and the reaction of the crowd.
