How can you attribute two foot skating to choreography? Other skaters are slammed for two-footing their landings (Ashley Wagner comes to mind for example) and it's just considered poor technique or nerves. That bothers me less than skating half way across the rink before executing a jump. I accept that Caro is graceful. I do not agree that she has the best skating skills or that she does something wondrous with her edges. I also equate her bronze medal to a seasoned actor finally winning an Academy Award "because it was his/her time!"
I think if Caro competes in GPs next year she runs the risk of besmirching her bronze medal.....
Um, two-foot skating and two-foot landings are entirely different things. Carolina is not a chronic two-foot lander. There's nothing techinically wrong with two-foot skating although having more one-foot skating shows off skating skills more, but it's not like she can't do it. Her Bolero program is heavily influenced by the ballet where the dancer spends most of the time on two feet hence the choreography.
