Kostner skated to a Shostakovich Trio in her SP (it happens to be one of my favorite pieces of music )
I thought it would take someone with an acquired taste to appreciate it. You must have a musical ear.

And wow, Caroline Zhang really imploded.

I first came across that trio in a French film a few years ago and immediately fell for it. It's brilliant. I wonder if Carolina has a more musical ear than many skaters; her music choices tend to be interesting and often unusual, which is not common, especially among Nichol-choreographed skaters.I thought it would take someone with an acquired taste to appreciate it.

Could one of them lend Mao Asada their designer?

I think this has become a matter of attempting high risk jump difficulty results in PCS boost from the judges. Right or wrong, COP judging is known for this and Czisny reaped the benefits here.
Well, Mao won 2010 Worlds with 2/2 and Kozuka just got his Bronze with 2/2 also.
Which is a lil weird but being in 5th in everything throws me more for some reason.
Kudos to whoever explores outside the 'traditional' skating music. Traditional is beautiful, but how boring would it be if everyone dismissed anything 'different' as simply 'odd', especially when such dismissal stems from a lack of willingness/curiosity to appreciate/learn about/ be exposed to a wide range of beauty?
Exactly. Alissa's arms bother me too. She's overhyped IMO. That's what winning a few will do for you. Until another US lady can do better, she gets the America's sweetheart treatment.I m fine with the results cause the gap was really small. But when men try harder content and somehow mess it in comparisson to easier content that wins, there is a rush of Oh it is figure skating, not figure jumping. When ladies try harder stuff and mess it and still win, we call it she had a safe cushion because of difficulty. Honestly I was never a Costner fan except for some bright moments she had but both her programs are creative, her sp is really unique and she was flying in the lp with a music choice that i thought is difficult to skate to, either that or I miss Mao, but I havent seen such light skating with such exciting choreo lately. Alissa is beautiful to watch but puts me to sleep, she looks like calculating much and I dont see her posture gushing, especially in the Lp i got annoyed, when she prepares to jump she sets her arms and it is like she is in practice. It is like her jumps dont come out of the choreo. She is amazing for getting back this way since the Olympic season and somehow this is what sport is about, but i dont see how she is on the same level with Carolina (whenever she skates clean).
About watered content for Kostner, she is the only one who did a 3-3 in the whole competition
