Rank the winning Ladies performances at Worlds and Olympics for the last four years
By scores: 1. Sotnikova 2014 Olympics: 224.59
2. Kim 2013 Worlds : 218.31
3. Asada 2014 Worlds : 216.69
4. Ando 2011 Worlds : 195.79
5. Kostner 2012 Worlds : 189.94
The Quad opened in Moscow in 2011 with Ando's 195.79 narrowly beating an underprepared Kim with 194.50. Ando had 5 triples, all judged clean. Out of 108 possible +3 GOE's, Ando was given only 1 +3 GOE in the FS.
In 2012 in Nice, Koster scored a 189.94 for the Gold, beating Leonova in second with 184.28. Many believe this was the least competitive Worlds of the quad. Koster executed 5 triples, all ratified, and received 5 +3 GOE marks in the FS.
The 2013 World's in London, Ontario, featured Kim getting the gold with a 218.31 score, with a healthy margin over Kostner's 197.89 and Mao's 196.47 . Kim executed 6 triples, all judged clean, and received 33 +3 GOE marks in the FS. Kim's acclaimed 2013 performance scored a point below her Sochi silver medal performance which was not as well received.
The 2014 Olympics were officially won by Sotnikova in a controversial decision, scoring 224.59, over Kim's 219.11 and Kostner's 216.73. Adelina executed 7 triples, and all were ratified by the controllers, though of course many on this forum did not find all to be clean. She also received 33 + 3 GOE marks in the FS, the same as Kim in 2013.
The 2014 World's in Saitama Japan were won by Asada with a 216.69 score, beating Julia L. with a 207.50. Asada executed 7 triples, with 4 of the 7 judged clean. Mao received 7 +3 GOE FS scores.
It is clear the scores tended to rise at the end of the quad, along with the number of +3 GOE's. I find it interesting that Ando got a single +3 GOE mark in 2011 in the FS, while Kim and Adelina both received 33 +3 marks at the end of the quad.
Please rate, discuss or compare the 5 winning performances. Was Sotnikovs's the best? Was Kim's 2013 World's the second best? Was Kostner's gold in 2012 the worst (it scored below some of her other World's performances, including below her mistake filled 2014 world's).
