Ladies - Long Program

[beep_beep]

I love the Perk, but putting Alissa behind her. Ouch.
(Well, I guess that's the payback for the dance comp )

 

[SamuraiKike]

*Sighs* If not for that fall she could've got Bronze.... Still the comeback of the year and Alissa should be proud of herself..

I was hoping there was a chance she could have gotten into third place.

German commentators meant Czissny is too introvert ... they ... and me ... prefer Leonova ...

Sorry das ist verrückt!

Wow, Alena LEONOVA has better PCS than Mao's. She even has better SS and TR with that program.

That is such a joke!!!

 

[aemeraldrainc]

I'm sorry but IMHO Alissa deserved to go in third.
I think Leonova being on home turf definitely helped her.

Do you think someone did some politiking for her?

 

[Iscariot]

Aren we watching the same German broadcasting? They liked Alissa very much!

The best I've seen from Kostner in a long time! Podium finish?

 

[fallingsk8er]

Carolina was gorgeous!...I love debussy!.....great program....great flow...

That is such a joke!!!

Agree--Leonova has poor skating skills and non-existent transitions--I would have given her 5.5-6.0 range for those.

 

[berrycute]

wow Kostner was...special!! love the program

It is a beautiful program but she just doesn't have the jump content to medal here, I think.

 

[loop9497]

That is such a joke!!!

Yeah, I don't see how her components were better than Mao.

 

[Blades of Passion]

Gorgeous opening Flip from Kostner. That might actually go into 3rd, given how much the judges (have been paid by Speedy) love her.

Blah here comes the conspiracy drama.. I bet not even Piseev was hoping on Alena having the SOHL. Im not saying She didnt get home bonus points but shes not to blame if Alissa falls..

 

[Layfan]

please let that be third

 

[amateur]

Kostner was BEAUTIFUL! I loved that, that was pure joy

 

[Serious Business]

That is the best I have ever seen Kostner skate. Elegant, but with a few quirky faun touches. She might climb over the witch!

Kostner score: 124.93, new SB, total 184.68 and into 3rd
