Solid 6 triples, but a fall will cost her in this field. She seems happy, though.

Russian gold medal count - 1 Judging credibility - 0

Sotnikova was scored ok on the TES but her PCS is way way superinflated. No way could it be better than Caro. She has just broken Yuna's Vancouver record in the FS

as long as Carolina finally gets her medal, i don't really care about the rest. justice is done, carolina has skated 3 fantastic programs in Sochi.

Gracy always remind me "the most popular girl in the classroom".

Wow...it just came over me...I don't think I'm going to watch tonight. I just can't anymore with these judges. I like Adelina but she has one of the worst choreographically programs imo and that is winning the gold.

Ladies > Ice dance

This is an even blacker day than 2002 for figure skating.

Yuna needs to pull out all the stops.. including doing the biellman position in her layback!!

 

[blue_ice]

Carolina - what a beauty! Adelina - STUNNING free skate!

Omg

This is about the most outrageous PCS for Adelina! Higher than Mao, Caro??????????? Just the biggest joke in the world!!!

Does somebody have enough popcorn left so we all can drown ourselves....? The men's splat fest was waaay better...

 

[DannyCurry]

You know, if I were a judge in that event, I would also give the highest PCS to Russian skaters. Otherwise, I could just get killed by the Russian mob or some crazy spy.

yea... you're not medaling dear

Mao Asada has far better skating skills and presentation than Sotnikova, did 8 clean triples including 3A, compared to the Russian's 7 triples with a two foot landing on one of them and...

Russian 149
Asada 142

Definitely riggage, I mean it doesn't even get more blatant than that.

These judges are throwing points around like candy on halloween

Gracie looks beautiful on the ice. She has great posture and reminds me of a throwback to a 1950s show skater.
