[lavender]

If Aleona wins this...it will be kinda weird. But the ladies are just so weak this year...

Carolina for Gold. Akiko Silver pleaseee

ITA but I wouldn't mind if Akiko got gold and Carolina silver.

 

[Selene]

The judges are going to go nuts with this score. 130+.

Only one mistake, so I'm okay with Kostner taking gold over Leonova. Nice program!

 

[coolboogie22]

Kostner is so boring and she scares to do the difficult jump. I dislike her skating.
I prefer seing Leonova winning than Kostner.
Leonova tried the difficult jump

This is wonderful from Carolina.... I am thrilled for her. She actually smiled in the middle of her 3-jump combo! I am going to watch this again and again. Bravo, lady.

I was actually nervous for her in the beginning. The arena was dead quiet in anticipation.

 

[lavender]

I'm so relieved. Thank you Caroline.

 

[hurrah]

Happy for Carolina!

 

[JeffyJosephNCA]

Carolina doing great, just one jump doubled but everything else pristine! This better put her in first!

 

[Robeye]

Absolutely the best performance under pressure I've ever seen from Carolina .

 

[Krislite]

Other than the doubled Flip...not bad.

 

[Nadine]

Holding my breath for Carolina, but still only 5 triples, won't be enough for 1st, but definitely podium!!!!

She's always been the magical diamond I first saw so loooong ago, she has it all, just exquisite.

 

[lilshorty]

If Carolina wins I hope she will retire. Sochi is not guaranteed. She should leave on a high note.

 

[Becki]

ITA but I wouldn't mind if Akiko got gold and Carolina silver.

I wouldn't mind either, but I don't want to put too much pressure on Akiko. I think she'll be content with just being on the podium

 

[sky_fly20]

and Kostner wins GOLD

Congrats Carolina !!!

 

[museksk8r]

No one executes their jumps like Carolina. Beautiful speed, flow, and height into and out of the jumps. Clean entries and long body lines. She is so lovely!

 

[lavender]

Who else from Italy will go to Sochi. Why should Caroline retire.
