You have been saying this a lot in your post. This is the thing (And know we cant combine different competitions) But take her short program from the 4cc and long from worlds and you have Mao easily beathing Kostner. I did not bring kim into it. Mao demostrated this season that she can scored over 200, like she did at the 4cc even if her jumps are not 100 percent. So, Carolina and Mao have the same chance for silver
By the way I am not upset, just think you are understimating Mao
I am not a Kostner fan really but Kostner has beaten Mao in every competition they have been in together for over 2 years now. It isnt like she just beat her at Worlds and nowhere else, in fact this past Worlds was one of the only competitions the last 2.5 years they were even close in. I dont think it is a stretch to say Kostner is more favored at this point. Like I said things can easily change, of course Mao a former World Champion could overtake Kostner, and it wouldnt surprse me at all if she does, but she definitely isnt over her right now. You bring in Maos best programs from two seperate competitions, but the thing is Kostner is actually more consistent than Mao now, and less likely to make as many mistakes. Also if you take Kostner from Nationals she would beat the two Mao programs combined you refer to probably (especialy as that Mao LP still had mistakes which Kostner at Nationals did not). Kostner hasnt even had many chances to do her best as she has only started trying the harder jumps again.
