Anna medaled. Won the ladies competition

I can't believe they became 2nd with the worst program of the evening.

LOL as I predicted a veteran, pair and singles skater, but not the singles skater I thought. Out of the ladies I though Sonya and Kamila were better but Anna skated well.

Anna medaled. Won the ladies competition

She portrayed a role that suited her. Plus, like, Olympic champion.

Aliev looks unhappy

A send-off, I suppose?

 

[lariko]

Okay, individual prizes…

 

[AlexBreeze]

I think it should be divided into categories next time like: Best entertaining program, best program to classical music, etc.

I am surprised about S/K's result but agree with the other two. Yagudin really owned the rink.

It probably will be reflected in individual awards from judges.

Not the result I was expecting, I don't understand much Russian but this isn't a farewell to Alexei? Sahsa G looked really put out , I thin there are a few confused skaters there.

 

[Cherub721]

Awwwww Totmianina looks truly touched.

Took home a little cash too.

By the look on their faces, not a lot of skaters are happy with these results.

It’s his birthday (Yagudin’s)

Trankov dont look too happy, what is exactly being said?

 

[Cherub721]

What is with Trankov? Is he upset?

 

[alexocfp]

Is this the jury vote award?

 

[icewhite]

I think it is easier to accept bad scores or losing if you have an idea why... And if there are things you know you could have done better. But this is just show-politics and preference of the judges.

Galliamov looks upset as well

 

[Caliban]

Yes
