Well actually Yuna lost points in the short once again on her StSq and lay back spin---both level 3s. StSq was worth a point less than Adelina's. I guess the judges wanted her to cartwheel and spin on her head or something. Yuna also got lower GOEs pretty much across the board. So yeah, the TES of Yuna's triple triple was like 2 points higher. But with all those little details judges have opportunities to nick scores and boost others, thus triple toe Adelina wins the OGM by 6 points.While watching the competition on TV, caught up in the moment, I was totally on Team Yuna and wanted her to win so badly. I did find her LP a bit of a letdown after that gorgeous SP, but that SP won me over for life. Imo, her SP should've scored higher and propelled her to the win. That's the problem with the current lack of bonus for combination jumps--her 3Lz-3T didn't get any more than Adelina's 3T-3T and solo 3Lz. So partly, the problem is the stupid rules (not just conspiracy). Add to that the home ice advantage (doesn't only work for Russians) and that she's reigning Olympic champ and the judges will be marking her not against her competitors, but her own best (unfair, but we can't control that)... Cards were stacked against Yuna.
Now, looking over everything, I still think Adelina was overscored. If there is a conspiracy, and that seems possible, it's bad for the sport and I really hope it doesn't happen again. But, though the scores may not be correct, I... kinda don't have an opinion on who should've won overall. All three ladies skated extremely well, and I think I'm happy with any kind of placement between them. (Carolina really grew on me after the event.) And to be honest, the way Yuna's fans are acting is more disgusting than even the scoring itself. Perhaps that's what knocked me off Team Yuna and into Team Anyone Is Fine. I know that has nothing to do with the skates, but honestly, I feel really bad for the way Adelina's getting treated. None of this was her fault. I liked her Sochi skates, even if I liked Yuna's better, and I hope she does well in the future (and Yuna's retired and Caro's probably retired, so she won't be robbing them, guys).
I'm sad this controversy is marring a fantastic night of skating. They saved Sochi FS, after the guys ruined it.
