One thing is hard to dispute and that is that Adelina was terrific.
Come on.
You can prefer Yuna or Carolina's skating and question some aspects of Adelina's. But no sane person can deny that Adelina delivered two stellar performances with hugely difficult content. I'm ambivalent about her choreo but she skated the lights out of it. Not perfect. But. She put it on the line with a risky technically difficult program. She skated huge. She went for it. She gave an Olympic performance.
She rewrote the "script" that so many pundits and fan were writing and everyone is all stunned that their predictions were wrong.
Congratulations Adelina!!!!!
