I just noticed the nipple action of Aliona at the end of the SP
Yeah, this was my impression as well. I didn't much care who placed first out of these two. Neither were really that good, or that bad. Even though Meier ended up winning the LP, I personally think I preferred Kostner by a hair. However, if neither had made the GPF I certainly wouldn't be crying.
On another note, Ando had a meltdown. Ouch.
If you really don't like their skating style,I suggest you not to write anything....I find you guys so irritating......I think everybody has the right to give personal opinion, but in this case I notice great arrogance and, maybe, envy.......Hoping Gran Prix Final would arrive soon, so that good skating and sane competition beteween athetes will bring you to don't waste your time in writing these futile words......:disagree::no::no::no::no::no::no:
Sorry but I disagree with you. Kostner is european champion, Meier is the vice-european one.
None of the ladies skated well, including Meier and Kostner. The 15 points for the win is what put Kostner in the GPF, certainly not her skating.
Kostner is a SP skater, and a reasonably good one. But it's been years since I've seen a decent FS from her, and I'm not expecting one from her in Torino (home ice is a major negative for her). But even a decent Kostner FS isn't going to cut the mustard against a pretty good FS from Kim and Asada, or a clean FS from Meissner.
I just wanted to underline that we have to respect athletes in our discussion. Is that so difficult to understand?
There are so many skaters that wouldn't get on the podium or be considered a threat even if they went 100% clean, but if kostner goes clean, she will be in the same league as any other lady, and that's why it's always exciting when she competes.
I think it'll be a very exciting GPF. Can't wait!!
Sorry but I disagree with you. Kostner is european champion, Meier is the vice-european one. I think that's not correct to call them THESE TWO just because Rain doesn't like their skating.
Plus, I don't find " However, if neither had made the GPF I certainly wouldn't be crying" a solid expression. And just because everybody is free to express personal opinion, so my opinion is that some messages here are really unfair and superfluous......somehow irritating.And I am not referring just to to Rain's message.
Ginevra, I think that Kostner has gorgeous footwork that's very lyrical and musical. She is a mature woman's skater who pays a lot attention to her choreography and her programs this year are worth watching even if all her jumps fail. That's more than I could say for other skaters who execute the music without any sense of style.
I hope Aliona Savchenko gets some work done on her SP costume before the Grand Prix final. She had a "wardrobe malfunction" at the end of the short program. I didn't notice it at first, but my hubby sure did. It was the most interested I've ever seen him in skating.
