Her Bolero program needs a good technical content. Without this it is an overstyled empty program.
I know but Carolina is still injured I think
she mentioned in her interview about her thigh and back so no 3-3 here

I don't know if this is correct because of the talking, but I ran it through an app and came up with "Aria" by Yanni.Y'all! Does anyone know what the music is you can hear at 14:40 here? (right after the medal ceremony)
If you don't know, but know of a better thread to ask this question, let me know...
thanks!
I don't disagree that Yuna still has a serious advantage over Julia, but really, Julia's current score should be third on the list. In 2009 the spiral sequence was still a required element in both programs. Even if Julia had preformed one VERY VERY BADLY (which would not have happened, she'd be getting huge spiral scores) she'd beat the TEB score by at least a few points.
I do concede she'd still have the third highest score, though, and Yuna's scores would be the 2 highest.
One Judge gave Julia a 7.25 for Interpretation and Adelina a 9.25. :scratch: Really??
Please, fourth at best, Yuna already has 3 times scored over 210 internationallyLipnitskaia just got the highest season score and the second highest score in skating history.
She's definitely a gold medal contender now.
Haha, the judge, he or she, seems strongly opinionated, I wager. But the only explanation might be that the very judge must have been annoyed at Julia's pseudo-maturity, which to her fans could be called as "sublime".
I agree. I just don't see how anyone can see a 2pt swing between the two. 2pts is a pretty big gap right?
I was making this comparison in my mind, as well. Julia Lipnitskaia is amazing, perhaps the best 15-year old skater I have ever seen. The ONLY quibble I have with the protocols sheet is that her Skating Skills were marked a tad high--she does not have the effortless power and smooth, deep edges you would expect from a skater with 8.50+ SS scores. Having said that, there is nothing else I can find to nitpick at the scoring.Wow, Julia's FS is pure gold! This performance is the best one I've seen by a lady. Not even Kwan could skated so well.
So, which Program Component would you score lower, and by around how much?But, I also think she should not receive as high PCS as the women. She looks too young out there, it's kind of jarring to watch aesthetically pleasing ladies skaters dance all over the ice and then there's this girl who looks like she's 10 years old. It's not her fault, but I think the PCS should take this into consideration.
I was never a big fan of Kostner, so meh.
Adelina is a sprite, that's for sure. She really does take off on her jumps, just seems to keep going up and up. I love her energy level throughout the program, but it seems to be untamed. It's just kind of wild or constant energy, that isn't focused into grabbing the audience. 2-dimensional performance rather than 3-dimensional, but I do think she's the best of the Russians and Europeans in general.
Julia is an amazing young skater, but I did find numerous faults with her program. First, she has extra long pauses in between jump combos, so I imagine those must count as sequence instead? Her landings are wonky too. Her spins are amazing, have to give her credit there, especially the final spin in her FS. Also, when she started her LP, I thought "wow, this girl really has a sense of presence for the moment and understands delivery" but as she got into the technical content she lost the magic and was just kind of doing tricks out there and flailing her arms around. So in that regard she started out really good and then got worse as the program went along.

I think she is plenty expressive, especially with her arms, at least in this program.
Yes and no, again. when Julia competes with seniors, no, but she compete with junior, emphatically yes!Does she really deserve such high GOE for her jumps? They aren't that big and a lot of those landings were shaky.
Actually, I was surprised when the program started. I did not expect for a girl her age to have presence and a sense of the moment, but she really did at the beginning of the skate. It wasn't just some cheesy pose and boom off to skating skills. I was pleasantly surprised by her artistry at the beginning.
However, once she got into the technical content I think she lost that presentation ability. Even her arms just flail away all over the place to me. So...my guess is that right now she's capable of concentrating on performance or technical content, but not both at the same time. There's an overall immaturity about her in my opinion, which is not a slight on her at all. For 15, I would select her as the best for her age over anyone in the world. But compared to the other ladies, she looks too young. She acts like a little girl (which is age appropriate for her, but doesn't compare favorably to the more mature skaters). There's something ambiguous about her skating and program, which I guess makes sense for her age. She's extraordinarily talented but her talent is not quite polished. She can seem monotonous without seeming monotonous. Her skills are all there but not quite there. She comes off -- to me anyways -- as a talented 15 year old girl, a potential #1 skater for tomorrow or next year, but not quite there at the present time.
The politics of the sport are such that the Russians will be in position to medal if they go clean, but I prefer Adelina at the present time, though Julia has higher potential in the long run if growth doesn't ruin her career.

Yes I'm thinking same. I love Bolero but this time Kostner smiled too much and shaking her hips a lot. I don't know. This program should be more elegant I think.
