Great score for Julia, PCS seem fair.
I think the only person that got screwed here was Carolina in terms of PCS. She should have been first, followed by Adelina and then Julia.
Great skating from the top ladies!
I was wondering when you'd pop your head into this! Aren't you excited to see the results? Headcase Sotnikova skated perfectly! Julia skated perfectly too, a great program...aren't you pleased with the results? Don't they make you feel warm and fuzzy inside? I know you're celebrating just like I am! :yay:
I think what gave Adelina an edge is the crowd seemed to really get into her program. Her presentation is definitely more extroverted than Carolina; it reminds me a bit of Kwan. Not that I'm justifying the higher PCS because although Adelina is probably my favorite I do acknowledge Carolina is better. Just saying that the judges are human and can be persuaded by an audience reaction.
Julia's biggest problem is not finishing the moves, rushing from one "posture" to another. I blame the choreography really, it's like they packed in too much stuff for her to do, instead of letting her hold spirals position for a few seconds longer, stretch out her arms more etc. If the choreographers take out ~25% of the "stuff" (aka things besides jumps/spins), she could easily score higher than Sotnikova in the 2nd marks. Fix the flutz too, or change it to a flip so she doesn't throw away points needlessly.
can someone translate what they just said when they showed Plushy?
1-2 ranking is wrong, I will never understand how the judges love Sotnikova so much
what do they see in Sotnikova they give her such huge PCS ? :scowl:

Obviously something you don't. People have spelled it out for you numerous times but you seem to have selective retention when it comes to such facts. Julia was great but Adelina skates bigger than her and that's what it comes down to.
I guess im on the minority but Caro's program seems empty. On the other hand Julia's was rushed. So much going on in that routine.
Julia has fast spins, improved her artistic marks, and gets high level on her step seq,
Julia should have gotten a 32+ PCS or even same PCS as Adelina
you can only imagine how Sotnikova's PCS will look like next quad :disapp:
