No, Medvedeva is not light-years behind other skaters. But she's light-years ahead in the scoring.I'm sorry, but it's not like other ladies are constantly bringing something new to the sport and adding new things to their programs. It sounds like Med is lightyears behind other "innovative" skaters, which she is not. So I don't really see the reason of singling out Med in here.
Why is that?
It's what I've always said: does she deserve to win? Absolutely. Does she deserve to win with world record breaking scores? Hmm... not really, no.
