I checked out other threads with the nasty, bitchy & jealous people then thought I would rather just be happy for a young girl who has just EARNED a Olympic Gold medal.
Let's face it, this was a very close competition but to say it's a fix because a Russian girl won in Russia is not fair.
I thought the Ice Dance event was a fix, as the top two was already decided before anyone took to the ice but very few mention that.
Some people on here are so anti-Russian it's scary.
I'm half American half British & would like to congratulate Adelina.
I wouldn't call Adelina that, but I do think Sochi Olympics should be called Putinlympics
Very good point Krislite.
Mao Asada 8 clean triples with 3A scored 142
Russian with 7 triple program and 1 botched jump scored 149
and if she does the Japanese skating federation will be ready for her. Look for some shockingly low scores unless she skates better than she did at the Olympics. And if she dares to skate at the next Olympics in KOREA I can only say she has some huge balls.
Official results in figure skating no longer have any meaning after these Games. You can see from how Ito and Janet Lynn are considered the 2 best ever what a farce skating scoring and its system of determining winners is. The 2 best ever and only 1 World and 0 Olympic titles between them. Meanwhile a garbage skater like Sotnikova is an Olympic Champion and stunning skaters who make you cry like Kwan and Asada are not. Results only reflect corruption, bribes, politics, and luck, and occasionally a bit of skating too. Quality is what determines the greatness of a skater and always has.
After this event no win for her will ever be taken seriously again. The perception in the skating world will be any win by her was bought by Putin. I am glad for that.

your in for treat because she will be competing next quad
your gonna whine when wins a few more gold medals then
a bot, this is not a person
From "she's a headcase" to "when she wins a few more golds". How you've changed your tune.
I said, if she wins a World Champion gold, I may like her again, she got better, an Olympic Gold
so Im back to Sotnikova's bandwagon
The Japaness didn't have 8 clean triples + 3A. She had downgradeS.
Sotnikova didn't botched her jump, but a step out on landing of 3 pass jumps. Kim also had an unstable landing on Lutz.
Kostner skated the same way as Yuna. She wanted a medal, and it didn't matter what color it was. She was going to make history, and there's nothing that was going to keep her off that Podium. 3 of Kostner's jumping passes scared the living crap out of me. I definitely was getting ready to light a candle for her...I think this result will be debated years into the future (ala kwan and Lipinski in 98) but I have to say I think Adelina deserved it here , I do think she should have had lower pcs than Kim by a few points and Kostner , But she skated like her life depended on it this week, I think the difference for me was that Adelina skated to win while Yuna skated not to lose. I know many will not agree with me and I respect your opinions but I think Adelina skated like a true champion, all three ladies on the podium skated the best I can remember of any top 3 at the Olympics.
The problem is it becomes obvious her win was in fact the script all along. They could have awarded her a gold medal before the event began as the result was determined long in advance.
