kitmerlot_1213but I’m okay with the top three finishers at the ladies event—the only problem I have has to do with Adelina’s being so over-scored. I mean, the judges should make an attempt to make it less obvious. But then again, Yuna Kim was over-marked in Vancouver, so you live by the sword, you die by the sword. I also think Yuna was following the Michelle Kwan way off thinking, in that “All I have to do is stay vertical and I’ll win gold”, forgetting that there are younger skaters behind her, doing technically more difficult programs.
I also have to wonder why Tara and Johnny hate Ashley Wagner as much as they do. Scotty and Bezic were infinitely fairer to her and that just freaks me out. I get that the USFSA wants Gracie Gold to be their new face, to be their Number# 1 skater, but they don’t have to be quite so awful to Ashley.
I am proud of how well our Americans did and I'm glad that Mao was able to finish up with such a lovely free skate.
