The Russians have always been ridiculosly overscored on PCS, which makes the giant push for them. Kaetlyn not so much, but she can be overscored as well but from the Top 3 I find her the best, at least her jumps have actually quality (except that finally called Lutz). This is not me saying the results should have necessaruly different, Tbh, I don't that much. Tbh, I don't really gush not even about Satoko who seems not so inspiring this year to me.
Kaori's score was shockingly low in comparison to the other skaters. It's the only thing I'm really upset about.

That was just the most overscored olympics of history. The entire last group was overscored.
Maybe Kaetlyn had that moment here, i don't think she had ever received a score above 150 before.
I just know that when I watched Carolina live. The whole arena gave her standing ovations for SP, LP and exhibition. There’s something pulling us in. Don’t know what.Agreed. And for basic skating skills and such Satoko for instance just is better. I don't think Kostner's very good at interpreting, especially the emoting is weak and disconnected. One of those eternal mysteries for me.
Medvedeva and Zagitova received these scores all season. (it's not even Medvedeva's PB in the free)
While both Yuna in 2010 and Sotnikova in 2014 received huge PB just for the Olympics.

Her PB with almost the same skate was 142 and she got 152 at olympics. That's a big inflation.
Medvedeva and Zagitova's scores were inflated all the season, and still inflated at plus.
For me Medvedeva's score is her PB since WTT'scores are just bigger jokes than Oly's. And that was not her best skate.
It wasn't Zagitova 's best skate either that 's why her score is lower than her PB.
Osmond was really overscored. Without the skaky lutz she would have got 154-155. Her PB with almost the same skate was 142 and she got 152 at olympics. That's a big inflation.
Kaetlyn's 142 from Worlds did not have 7 rotated triples like her program here.
She got 142 at autumn classic and had 7 rotated triples.

That's not quite correct. In 6.0, the artistic mark was the tie-breaker for the free skate, and it very often decided the winner in favor of the more artistic skater. Of course, the tech had to be there.
The tech score was the tie breaker in the SP, but the SP only counted 1/3, while the free counted 2/3 for the overall.
