I don't really have a problem with her winning. clean, highest level of difficulty. I disagree personally but I don't think it's dishonest or anything.

Carolina should have gotten gold tonight. She gave the best SP of her life yesterday and she delivered a 7-triple program with great skating skills and artistry. She was cheated out of her own opportunity to make Olympic history tonight. I would be kind of upset if I were her.
Then it should have been Yuna, so actually, Yuna would have gotten silver in any case I think. So actually, she didn't really get bad treatment tonight, again.
And then Adelina should have gotten bronze.

Carolina has done her job and more. She can end her career on a high note.
Mao skated brilliantly but she has more in the tank. This LP was simply her doing what she was capable of doing in practices. She should take a break after Worlds and maybe continue later if she wants.
Yuna should want REVENGE. She is good enough to be a two-time OGM and she and Carolina both got shafted. Right now I really hope Adelina sticks around to Pyeongchang and Yuna makes a magnificent return in 2018 Pyeongchang, slaying Adelina the same way Mao slayed 12 skaters (despite the judges and the tech panel claiming it was only 10) on her way to 8 triples and her 6th-place (rightfully 4th) finish.

LOL so much for "WORSE THAN SLC 2002!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!112421u43rkwmfklrga"
No one expected less. I am deeply saddened.
P.S. And I thought Russian Federation's vice-President himself was on the tech panel. The panel that gave Yuna level 3 for her step sequence in both SP and LP, and level 4 for Adelina in both SP and LP (no one else did). In LP, everyone but Yuna (Adelina, Carolina, Mao) in top 4 received level 4 in step sequence.

*sighs*
- substandard posture (shoulders rounded, turtle neck)
- substandard body lines
- substandard carriage
- choreography in both programs incidental and not relating to the music neither in terms of style and character nor in terms of matching the music
- skating skills not bad but nowhere near Kim's or Kostner's (they skated on deeper, cleaner edges, have more speed and flow, etc. etc. etc. - this is very evident on the step sequences where Sot might have hit the levels but in terms of speed and flow she was nowhere near them and it was a bit like she was skating through molasses in comparison)
- her movements being largely off-time in both programs
So did all the commentators.

I haven't seen the performances, so I don't know if she deserved to win.
But, I'm happy she did.
I am sick to death of the threads on Yuna vs Mao vs Carolina vs Julia (recently added).
Now, it's over and done. We'll have a few days of moaning and complaining, but then the bots will drift away. Good riddance.
