I don't think a lot of people would disagree that she would've won if she had been skating for Russia. Oh well.
How indeed. Whatever. What's done is done. :sigh:

If the ISU cared anything at all about judging integrity (ha!) they would hold press conferences for judges after every competition (and closed door panels where judges had to be able to defend their scores).
And there would be no secret judging and known crooks like Balkov would be banned for life.
Since the ISU doesn't care, none of this will happen.

Agreed. This is worse than inflation. This is like inflation x 100
Are you talking about Yuzuru Hanyu by any chance?
He has some of the same issues, yes. Although not to the same extent and his skating skills are very good.

This result has directed a lot of hatred towards Russia. perhaps this was intended?

Let it go.
Russia was slated to win gold, Kim already has a gold. And it's not like Sotnikova didn't skate an excellent performance. Personally I thought Kostner deserved the win, but fully expected Sotnikova to get it after her skate.
This farce of a win was a crowning glory to all the atrociously outrageous pro-Russian scoring that has gone all this whole competition.

I disagree. She has much more extension than Yuna and overall a better line. As far as posture, her back is flat but she is more bent over at the waist.

What's wrong with the ice dancing results? You're the only one of everybody here that thinks I/K should have beat V/M. If anything, the only problem with the ice dancing was the 6-point spread between P/B and I/K (although I would have had I/K ahead anyways).
