Can someone please post a link to Rachael's FP? Others would be nice too. Sorry if it's already been done. The page that supposedly had links to all the programs didn't, when I opened it.
Some people think like you.
Some don't.
I'm...AVERAGE.
I don't think Carolina is 8 points more skilled or beautiful than Rachael. RACHAEL WON !!!

Is it because Carolina bombed in Vancouver . . .
Thank you so much, Janetfan. I love Rachael's haircut and costume. This is the best she's looked since she was 14, IMO. Unfortunately her skating still doesn't do much for me. I wish she would give up the cutesy jazzy moves and music. Romantic music and distinguished choreography would help her a lot.Hi Spun,
If this works the other LP's will be posted here too.
BTW, Rachael skated very well - close to her best. Caro was skating with a knee injury and could not do any flips ot lutzes and still won.

Didn't he coach Jeremy Abbott??Tom Zakrajsek doesn't seem to concern himself with teaching his skaters strong skating skills. His emphasis is much more on jumps. Flatt, Bradley, and Mroz are all evidence of this.

Evan was packaged well. After all, he did have Caroll as his coach. I also think aesthetics and style matter a little more for the ladies. The problem with Rachel is that she is average in everything. Her technical skills are not good enough to compensate for her presentation.

This competition was definitely about seeing the potential, not the finished product for me. I think Carolina is already skating her LP a lot better than some of her previous efforts. I noticed particularly that her arms are now elegant most of the time rather than stiff and gawky and her musicality has improved tremendously.
Well, hello, of COURSE her skating is going to have more performance factor with all the more difficult technical content gone. Carolina is able to concentrate on the aesthetics a lot more since she doesn't have such a long setup for each jump (her lutz setup used to take her the legnth of the rink!). OTOH, even with the easier jumps, there were fallouts and inelegant landings. When a skater can't skate clean even with such simple content, I think that should limit the PCS scores.
It seems as if Carolina has looked at Lepisto's world bronze and concluded that there's no need for lutzes and flips since the judges have been giving Carolina high PCS scores with a messy skate. It's a logical conclusion, based on Lepisto's medal, that if Carolina did 6 easy triples, she might win World silver or even (gasp!) gold.
