Lipnitskaia's coach blames Russian media for skater's disappointing singles performance

If anything the media helped her boosting the momentum. Had she stayed on her feet, she would have been on podium. Just look at the freaking score (200+!!??!!??!!??) she received after the disastrous and flawed two programs. If anything she should thank the media and her federation because there is no way she would receive that score and get ranked at 5th. More like 15th is appropriate.

I want to go back and read the pre-event posts here just for fun to see who was promoting Yulia as a gold contender against Kim. Shameless folks.

Her score was 200.XX points, which of course she got because her previous bests result in a total score of 211 points. Here she had mistakes that cost her 5 points in the long and 6 points in the long. Her score was perfectly well-deserved

Julia benefited from that media hype. She went from getting 7 and 8 to 9 and 10's her spins are fast though her jumps are tiny and she never she called for flutes.She got positive GOE on her Axel and higher GOE than Gracie in what world are here jumps are better than Gracie.All b/c all that media hype.

She has never received any tens, and achieved 200 points when her previous best was 211 points. Gracie went up seven points with a fall, Carolina went up 18 points from her previous best and Adelina went up 22 points from her previous best, those are the results that are fishy (Adelina's) not Yulia's.

Adelina didn't get any 10s either. Kostner and Kim did not Adelina. Adelina hit over 200 points at Euros. IF Adelina got the PCS she got at Euros in the free, she still would have won here.

In order for her to have LOST, she would have had to have had the lowest pcs in the final group. Do you really think that's appropriate? Lower than Yulia's. And you realize that internationally Adelina was getting higher pcs than Yulia all year. Even at Euros in the free when Yulia went clean and Adelina didn't. Even when Adelina had a really bad free at the GPF.

One of the reason's Adelina's scores shut up was because she went pretty much with the minor two foot at double jump clean here. With a 3/3 something she hasn't done since she was a Junior. Technically she skated her best ever.

Once again, why is Kostner going up over 18 points fine on her personal best but its not okay for Adelina to be up by 18. That's a pretty double standard. Seeing as both Adelina and Kostner had similar consistency issues.

Yeah, so did Mao.... Technically, she skated her own personal best, and she also skated the best program in the history of figure skating ever... and her PCS was...

Once again, I don't know why Adelina's getting singled out on this Mao was hurt because she skated in an earlier group. Jason Brown had higher PCS then Denis Ten. You can argue its unfair, but its got nothing to do with Adelina.

The problem is her PCS for both the SP and the LP went up. Reducing both SP and LP to Euro's which should have been the maximum she could receive, would have resulted in a score 6 points lower. That not even getting into the fact that her TES scores went up several points from Euro's where she was squeaky clean in the SP and only had one mistake in the LP. Yet her scores went up 14 points. How can anyone say this is fair. Carolina upped her technical difficulty in the SP and went from making 5 different mistakes (including 2 falls in the LP) to going completely clean to justify her scores. Meanwhile Adelina had the same(lower) technical difficulty in the SP, and the only area her skating was better was the first jump combination, and to counter that she made a mistake on a double jump later on. None of these things explain why her score jumped 22 points.
