Twice world champion is not a bad resume ... just saying.
It's as serious as an event? Judges are being more generous? Kostner was better here than at worlds but overall judges were just giving higher scores here than the judges at worlds.
FlattFan said:Oops. Forgot about JW. Anyway, that combo is as unreliable as PCS-judging. She should find another combo that she can hit at least 80% of the times. And a flutz combo, even when fully rotated, will always get -GOE. What is her team thinking? She needs a strategist/coach like Morozov.
Yes a strategist coach who can suck all the life from her skating and turn her into a Ando clone.

Well, I know she has some haterz, but who else thinks Yretha Silete is a rockstar? Because I do. Awesome jumps, awesome voids, gorgeous figure, perfect diva attitude for Black Swan, and she's improved so much just this season that if it continues, who knows, she could be medaling at Euros in a year or two. I really like her.
As for Adelina, surely her 3flutz-3lo got ratified at least once this season? She's landed it in competition quite a few times. Also, as for her easier layout, maybe she is trying to fix her flutz and that's why she's now doing 3t-3t?
ISU should really give MORE credit for more difficult combos: triple flip-triple toe is so much more difficult than triple toe-triple toe and the TES score should reflect this...
