just proves how flawed the old system was
skaters wouldn't have had as technically difficult programs... just pretty little girls in pretty pink dresses... what ifs just don't work...
long live the CoP! 6.0 you are not missed!
Not. Please check out what Midori Ito was doing under 6.0. All 5 types of triple without any flutzing or lipping and no underrotation except from time to time on the 3A. Plus a triple triple. Yup, Midori and Tonya for that matter were just cute ladies in pink dresses?

I voted for Yu-na Kim.
In the short program, I think it would have gone
Asada (she would not have been dinged with an edge call on her Lutz)
Kostner
Nakano
Korpi? (Kim probably would have been held up 4th despite the fall)
Kim
Long program
Kim
Nakano
Asada/Kostner
Kostner/Asada
Factored placements
Kim 3.5 (if fifth in the SP; if Kim is fourth she wins outright)
Nakano 3.5 (Nakano might even have been first without the downgrades)
Asada 3.5
Kostner 4.0
Kim wins on tie-breaker, Nakano second, Asada third.
Under 6.0, falls were worse than under CoP judging. But underrotation and edge calls were treated more leniently.
