In the step sequence?? Wha-What?
Lol but I thought she just did crossovers the whole time??

I'm not sure what's so hard to understand. From what I've read here all Yuna did was crossovers while wiping her face. Oh and not enough triples. Anything else is a hate thread.
You're ignoring all the professionals who weren't on the judging panel and panned Adelina's choreography/skating skills. She is a laughing stock among people who know about skating. It is not a controversy because everyone is a hardcore Yuna Kim fan. It is a controversy because Adelina is just not that good.
As requested, I have written down all of the movements in Yu-Na Kim's LP footwork sequence:
1.) Toe step, counterclockwise
2.) Back edge pull with free foot toepick push, clockwise
2.) Mohawk, clockwise
3.) Waltz hop, clockwise
4.) Cross step, clockwise
5.) Change of edge from inside to outside with free foot in quick ina position, counterclockwise
6.) Change edge from outside to inside with free foot placed on ice
7.) Rocker, clockwise
8.) Bracket, clockwise
9.) Rocker, clockwise
10.) Cross Roll, counterclockwise
11.) Rocker, counterclockwise
12). Change edge from outside to inside
13.) Loop, counterclockwise
14.) Full turn on ice while changing feet, counterclockwise
15.) Toe steps, clockwise
16.) Rocker, clockwise
17.) Cross step, counterclockwise
18.) Choctaw executed with a hop, clockwise
19.) Twizzle, clockwise
20.) Chasse, clockwise
21.) Choctaw, counterclockwise
22.) Top hop, counterclockwise
23.) Twizzle, counterclockwise (x2)
24.) Rocker, counterclockwise
25.) Edge change from inside to outside
26.) Three turn, counterclockwise
27.) Brief back inside two foot glide with back free foot mini-kick
28.) Choctaw, clockwise
29.) Three turn, clockwise
30.) Loop, clockwise
31.) Toe hop, clockwise
32.) Chasse, counterclockwise
33.) Curve with change of edge, clockwise
34.) Bracket, counterclockwise
35.) Cross step, clockwise
36.) Cross step, counterclockwise
37.) Half turn and edge change from inside to outside with free foot push, clockwise
38.) Toe step, clockwise
39.) Counter, counterclockwise
40.) Twizzle, countererclockwise (x2)
41.) Three turn, counterclockwise
41.) Rocker, counterclockwise
42.) Half turn and edge change from inside to outside with free foot placed on ice, counterclockwise
43.) Mohawk, counterclockwise
44.) Illusion turn, counterclockwise
45.) Chasse, counterclockwise
46.) Toe step, clockwise
47.) Cross step, counterclockwise
48.) Chasse, counterclockwise
49.) Toe step, counterclockwise
She has 5 types of turns in both directions - Rocker, Bracket, Twizzle, Loop, Three
She had 5 types of steps in both directions - Toe hop, Toe step, Chasse, Mohawk, Choctaw
She has full body rotation covering at least 1/3 of the pattern in total for each rotational direction.
She most definitely has upper body movements for at least 1/3 of the pattern.
She has 3 different combinations of three difficult turns executed with a clear rhythm.
This footwork sequence is clearly Level 4.
Thanks, BoP. You are very generous and patient to take the time to do all this.Thank you!
With this, I wish the moderators would close this thread already. It's gone on too long.
There is a difference between fs pr reps saying "it was totally fair!" so as not to discredit the sport that they profit from, and anyone actually endorsing Sotnikova's skating.
I don't know if this has been posted already.
This is a side-by-side top view of Yuna's and Adelina's LPs. It seemed to me that Adelina skated faster than Yuna. And before anyone claims that Yuna's choreography and transitions are more difficult and intricate - not really. Yuna's Tango isn't at the level of Danse Macabre.

Question:
So with simultaneous inflation of AS's step sequence from level 3 to 4 and deflation of YK's from level 4 to 3, the bias results in a net difference of 1.2 points in BV (not counting GOE)?
AS gains 0.6 over her actual program; YK loses 0.6?
(Not sure how the points are counted)

This footwork sequence is clearly Level 4.
Net difference of 1.2 points in BV and 0.95 points in GOE, so 2.15 points total.
And that's if we assume Sotnikova deserved those GOE grades. She had shakier edges, less flow in the movement, inferior upper body movement, and significantly less movement directly to the music...and yet was graded higher in GOE than Yu-Na for the footwork.
