Kidding? Sotnikova's LP dress looked like a garbage bag draped over her. SP dress was nice.
Clearly, our tastes differ. To me it was lovely. We will both agree never to choose each other's wardrobe!

So following their logic, in order to win you just have to make the crowd excited, that's all? Hmm I guess then skaters should just all choose fun, exciting music rather than challenge themselves with something like Yuna did (Adios Nonino is a sad tango by Piazzolla dedicated to his late father). Right.
P.S. The crowd was Russian, they'll cheer Adelina in any case

Yulia also choose a piece that challenged the audience just like Yuna. I don't see the point you're making. She stole their hearts at the team event(and all season if you followed her) and they wanted to show appreciation to her in spite of her falls. She looked devastated. Should they have gone silent. I'm sure if Yuna and Adelina had switched music and if this were 2018 we'd see the same thing in terms of crowd reaction. I guess I just don't see anything wrong with it. It's the Olympics after all.....not Worlds or GPF.Exactly. Didn't Julia get a standing ovation after her performances even though she fell?

I actually loved Adelina's dress, but YuNa's dress is very elegant and beautiful as well. There's nothing retro to criticize in it, obviously, but that's just spite talking on Tarasova's part. The idea that YuNa's program was somehow substandard is ludicrous, and in any case I wouldn't go to Tarasova for an unbiased expert opinion.
Madama Tarasaova, whom I otherwise admire for her achievements, might pause for a moment to realize that if YuNa was so bad, then it wasn't any special achievement for Adelina to beat her. Anyone could have, right? It's always unwise to make one's rival look too unqualified.
Tatiana Tarasova is beautiful still.

She looks like a nice and kind grandma to me. But behind the door, she is as political as anyone else.
Plus, I still blame her for Mao's choice of music in 2010. The Bell of Moscow simply took away the lightness and joy from Mao. Sorry, off topic.
Carnival?He's not watching her butt, he just can't catch her.
This was part of a promotional campaign that Michelle did with Olympic champion diver Greg Louganis for Carnival Cruise Lines.

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/...ilure-to-act-on-skating-scandal/#.Uxy3hM5WXCMI spoke with a prominent skating journalist in the Main Press Center on Sunday and she summed up the scandal pretty succinctly.
“The fix was in from the start,” she said. “Once they saw that (Julia) Lipnitskaia couldn’t win the gold, they just backed Sotnikova.”
I must say that I breathed a huge sigh of relief prior to the men’s short program the week before when Russia’s Evgeni Plushenko pulled out with an injury.
Why?
Because I was very worried that what we saw happen in the women’s singles, would happen in the men’s. That if Plushenko skated, he would somehow emerge with wildly inflated scores and a deserving champion like Yuzuru Hanyu or Canada’s Patrick Chan would be denied the title.
When I mentioned this concern to another writer following the controversy that saw Kim deprived of a second Olympic gold medal, he didn’t blink with his reply.
“You better believe that Plushenko would have won if he had skated in the singles,” he said. “There is no way he would have lost.”
Japan Times must be really hard up for white people writing for them if such hacking passes as journalism.Anybody has read this article?
