Oh yes, please do it! Eye witness reports with personal impressions are always such a thrilling read. :agree:Just came back from today's events, ladies brought it today, great pairs sp too, will try to write later!!
Julia won Gracie at JrWorlds 2012 (15.20 hogher score), where Gracie skated almost clean.I think Gracie can beat both of these Russian girls she has better jumps and artistry than the both of them
Julia should enjoy her victory. Once she grows and turns into a lady it'll be over with those tiny jumps.
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!
It's scary to see the crazy PCS boosts on those russian girls. Almost 7,8 pts increased DURING the season! Well, i like Julia and enjoyed her skating tonight but 68 in PCS is really...It is very, very likely that we will have another world records in SP LP and Total IF this tendency is also (half) applied to the veteran skaters, i.e. Yuna/Mao when they are clean.

i think the boost only apply to Russian ladies. I doubt any other skater beside Kim, Asada, Koster, or maybe Wagner/Suzuki will get these PCS score. lol
The inflation of the Russian girls within such a short time is crazy. I felt Kostner was scored pretty generously as well. She got higher PCS than her worlds LP, despite having less difficulty. But I guess if they were going to give Adelina a 69, they can't give Kostner lower than that. It makes me sad to think that a few years ago, skaters had to really work hard to get PCS and only a handful skaters got PCS in the 60s. Now, it seems judges are willing to give high PCS to any promising newcomer.
Bolero is really good program for Kostner though and deserves a 70+ for PCS
she has good transitions, fitting Choreo and interpretation to the music, amazing step sequence, speed throughout
Lipnitskaia just got the highest season score and the second highest score in skating history.
She's definitely a gold medal contender now.
