common, she has much higher skating skills than Slutskaya and is faster than her. Carolinas artistry and connection to the music is greater an Slutskaya. If you say Slutskaya a more difficult jump lay-out, ok, it's true, and it was due to injury Carolina had to take away some jumps she always had until her injury on her knees
you are wrong, she earned the spot beating Valentina at Euros and being European Champion 2010
Carolina has develop such skills, artistry and presentation. She really shows what figure skating is, not only jump, jump, jump with nothing in between.
I'm so happy she will continue for two more years, that are great news.
Slutskaya's skating skills are even better than Kostner's. Kostner used to be faster but sometimes she tended to lost control because of her huge speed. Irina also had tremendous speed, though she was always in total control of her skating. And at nowadays, Carolina slowed down to the point where their speed is equal.
