If at the Olympics Kim, Asada, and Kostner all skate cleanly what would the order of finish between the three have been. It is interesting as before Vancouver nobody would have asked this question. All 3 skating cleanly at that event would have always been Kim >>>>>> Asada >>>>> Kostner (with probably several others above Kostner in that scenario too). Yet despite Kim's dominant win at Worlds, it seems the general feeling this time around is it would be much closer in that hypothetical scenario than Vancouver ever would have been. It is also believed it is unlikely we will even see Asada or Kostner skate cleanly to find out, so the only place this scenario might play out is in the hypothetical discussions about it anyway, but just in the unlikely event it were to occur what would the final order of finish of the podium be this time around.
Of these three it is clear Asada would receive by far the lowest PCS and GOE of the trio if all three went clean, yet her planned base value is quite a bit higher isnt it. So that would still make it close.
BTW the other skaters need no consideration in this thread as if Kim, Kostner, and Asada were to all skate cleanly, nobody else woud have a hope to medal at the Sochi Olympics even with 9 triples, so the hypothetical thread title shuts out all other skates automatically and they need no discussing in this thread, only these three (eg- please no crazy Sotnikova fans saying well what if Adelina skated cleanly too, lol).
