I think that the passion and emotion were directed at the performance. I felt her emotion through my TV set.
I agree that receiving the same score as Yuna in 2010 is ridiculous, but so was Yuna's score in 2010.
Breaking character in order to wave to the audience is quite common by all skaters...
As for edge calls-I'm no tech specialist, so i'll leave that to them...
That's why I said I think she should have won the bronze...
I do see the argument for her wining gold...
Actually, I went to go look at the protocols. Jump GOE was scored differently.(Higher for +2 than it is now for example). Yuna was able to do three double Axels, therefore she had a higher jump BV even than Adelina) and there was an extra element that Yuna received 5.40 (BV + GOE) points for in both the short and long program. Take that element away from her score and she would have been at 217 points instead of 228. Meanwhile Adelina for less elements and lower difficulty in the SP received 224 points. Basically the judges said these were the best two programs in the history of skating. Is that true, no. So there is something seriously wrong with the way the tech panel and judges were set up. And we all know what those problems were.
