wow, that's close. just barely squeezed out 2nd. But this means she's going to the GPF :agree:
This also means that Asada has won.
Pretty much. Let's hope Asada doesn't bomb

kimmie's score is lower than wagner??
Really? Inflated PCS? You know that for a fact because you saw her skate just now? You may not care for her free skate, but that doesn't necessarily mean that she didn't do it well (albeit that she clearly had some trouble technically today, too).
Kimmie, as of now, isn't exactly a smooth, graceful, emotional skater. She can be an exciting skater when she hits everything, and she's certainly dependable. But as far as positions, fluidness and interpretation go, a flawed performance by Kimmie shouldn't be scored 7 points higher on PCS than a clean (or close to clean) performance by Ashley.

Okay, they can really go back to the old 6.0 system. Kimmie got lower TES than the French girl - but they gave her so much PCS so nobody will notice. You can look at any of these skaters - if they have a good reputation and bad TES - they just inflate the PCS, few minutes ago with Meier, now with Meissner. The Canadian Lady got 12 points less PCS but 10 points more TES. But she does not have that a good reputation, so they keep her low. And Kimmie is a great skater with good skating skills - but come on, she is not the ultimate artist on ice (well, perhaps she was tonight and I will know better after having watched her program). But I think the judges kind of kill the hopes of "new" girls like Wagner and Leung, it is like they are not really rewarded, even if they worked hard etc.
I don't think Mira's low PCS should have anyone crying wuzrobbed...
Exactly my point.

2 falls and she's ahead by that much? Wow, the other ladies must have been horrible.
