TES for short program. PCS for free.
Gold is gold. There is no more prestige to ladies than dance. In fact, if prestige/hype were the issue, dance would win, given the celebrity of Virtue and Moir.

The right skater won tonight, it was close, but based on the skates Alina deserved that gold. People are saying Alina should have less PCS and the difference would be higher, are you forgetting about TES? Even if Alina had less PCS, ~70, and Evgenia's 77 wasn't overscoring, in accurate scoring, Alina would still edge her out in TES. Alina has over 4 points over Evgenia JUST in base value, and that margin should have increase SO much with proper GOEs. All her elements are much higher quality, jumps and spins. Who disagrees with this? Tell me on which element. In reality, while Alina did have a huge PCS boost, Evgenis got a HUGE TES boost, getting more GOEs on her jumps than Alina on some, while it is clear Alina has much better jumps. And spins that are noticeable slower, and travelled, compare to Alina's spins which are much faster and more centred. Overall, Evgenia got MORE GOE than Alina, and it's just that they shouldn't get the same GOE, Evgenia should get MUCH less. You can't just look at PCS and say well Alina was overscored so Evgenia could have won; if you're going to take that route, you have to do the same with TES.
Not if you're Norway, Germany or Canada!
It robbed her of a little common sense. Doing europeans still injured put some doubt in the judges mind and gave alina the momentum she needed to beat her . . I'm so gutted for her. She deserved to win the gold.

I wanted and felt like Med should have won, but then I entered my own scores into a spreadsheet and ended up with Zagitova winning by the same margin. The six point base value difference decided it. Plus, Zagitova has more GOE potential when it comes to spins, axels, and combos. Still a disappointing result, but it wasn't wrong.
I know it's kinda too little, too late for that ...
but I still can't get over this meltdown of DalemanJust made me so sad and I only watched the replay, not live (albeit unspoilered).
I'd melt down too if I was so close to an Olympic medal...

There are rumors she is working on a 4S. I want to see her come back in 2022 and win gold as the underdog, that would be badass.

Her Salchow certainly is her strongest jump. It's really the only one that can be called truly exceptional out of hers.
And while the rest of her jumps are middle of the pack or bottom of the pile(Lutz) when it comes to jump height, the triple Salchow's right at the top as seen here.
So considering that she has absolutely no 3A prospects, it will have to be 4S if anything.

Alina did in the Kiss and Cry, I think.
