I know people will jump on me for this but Polina really does remind me of Caro when she was young: all gangly limbs with real potential. It will be interesting to see how she develops, but that's an impressive senior debut.

I don't think it is so bad but she's still kind of gawky and needs to grow into those limbs. I would never mock a prepubescent teenager (and I would have loved to have her frame when I was her age...it's better than short and squat) but it is kind of distracting during a figure skating performance. I'm waiting for the arms and legs to tangle.

The 16 - 1 placement looks very amusing on the results page. That's why I think COP is such a huge improvement over 6.0, bombing the short program doesn't take you out of the competition, it keeps the competition more interesting to say the least.

Where did you rewatched it? Do you have a link? I feel so bad because I wasn't inspired enough to record her program

I love that German's dress but what the heck!? Once again, the dress does not match the music. That is not a Gershwin dress....

Polina will finish in 9th at lowest (Weinzierl would have to up her PB by 40+ to beat Polina now)
For a first Olympics, especially one that's a senior international debut and her second major senior competition ever (counting Nationals), that was a pretty great 2 skates.

Top 10 Finish for Polina!
Too many girls falling in this free skate, but I cannot even imagine the pressure these young women are facing. What a nice performance from the 15 year old Polina Edmunds. She had an unfortunate fall, but overall did a beautiful job. I think she was slightly underscored. The judging in this sport can be so frustrating!

I quite enjoyed her at this competition. I see where the the Carolina comparisons are coming from, but I'm liking her quite a bit more than I did Caro around her age (whom I found rather awkward then, although she sure isn't now). Looking forward to seeing how she develops from here.
