Carolina KOSTNER (ITA)

Music: Sheherazade by Nikolai Rimski-Korsakov

Light blue dress w/draped skirt. Lots of nude fabric and colored crystals on top (new)

3Lz - long entry, but landed. Twofooted
2A
3F+2T - bit forward on flip
FCCoSp
FCSp
3T - forward, almost hand down
3Lo - stepout
3S - hand down, no combo
CCoSp
StSq - very nice
ChSq - deep back spiral, steps
3S - solid

Much better than at CoC. Still lots of little mistakes, but PCS should keep her ahead

Score: 53.80+68.58 = 122.38 (SB), 190.12 (SB), 1st out of 8

No Gpf for my dear Carolina
Better skate here than in China though, and she is winning silver.

Well I don't really like this costume either.

Up close the illusion fabric on the neck looks like a bedazzled dog cone!

 

[Moment]

Kostner was dead boring

3Lz was underrotated

Carolina's costume is a little too "beach party" for my taste.
That opening 3Lz, though, so high! :thumbsup:

 

[ordinary person]

That's because it looks even nuder, god...what ever happened to modesty..:disapp:

 

[Shayuki]

Well, after seeing this program for a second time it still doesn't do anything for me. It's really boring... I actually cannot even remember anything about the choreography after the first 20 seconds or so.

 

[mirai4life]

Where do these skaters get their PCS from. Lord of jesus.

 

[Shayuki]

What the presentation scores... Lipnitskaia will actually require a decent skate with that.

 

[yuki]

So, is Kanako really beating everyone in TES so far?

 

[zamboni step]

122???? For that piece of rubbish? Well with a 68.58 for PCS she might earn Olympic silver/bronze after-all if she skates like 2011-2012 GPF(SP)/Worlds(LP)

 

[Leonardo]

Well, Carolina got 68.58 PCs for a boring/slow/not impressive program. No reason for complains, I guess.

 

[ahy]

Julia can easily win this unless she bombs haha... but not a good start...

The highest of them (8.86) in IN , no less.

 

[Mirunna]

Julia is kind of bombing!

 

[mirai4life]

Mirai is my winner tbh

[zamboni step]

That's quite high but the 8.71 in CH I think is the biggest slap in the face. Julia might not win here!!!! What on earth happened to her?!
