Kyoko Ina is much better than John Zimmerman. If she had teamed up with a better partner she would have had more medals. He is making mistakes all the time. like in the triple jump and in the piruette...and some few more..
I can't be sure, but I think it's mostly due to the fact that their competitors were pretty awesome. Like, their tricks are awesome but not as good as those of their competitors. And they weren't as fast... and bobbled a couple times... but they weren't behind by that many points and their competitors were pretty amazing...
Just wondering, how did this performance not rank into the top 3? I'm wondering because I'm not sure what their major mistakes here in this program were.
They just arent as strong as the top 3 pairs who all skated well this night. Their twist and throw is not as explosive as of Sale & Pelletier, Shen & Zhou, and Berezhnaya & Sikharulidze. Their jumps and spins were a bit shaky too. They dont have the artistry of the Canadians or Russians either. As for 4th the shaky jump and spin put them behind the younger Russians, and the Russians also have a stronger throw with cleaner form, more control, and more amplitude.
Don't forget, they were hurt by the scandal at the Olympics, too. USFSA never stood by them and they were both hurt. They were just sort of pushed aside. They are gorgeous! Love them...and such nice people too.
I remember being quite impressed by their skating. But they just disapeared from the scene very quickly. Was it because of injuries or they just decided to retire?
aun no entiendo en verdad porqué no ganaron una medalla, sin duda siempre hay favorecidos en este tipo de competencias

Mostly because of their triple jump. They also were slow and finished after the music.

@sk8gold2010 I guess people didn't like Ina or Tara L.either.
