Kostner has been around a long time and I know a lot of people are starting to get sick of her but I really like her, she style is so...graceful. She's also very pretty.
Some nice jumps although not the most difficult ones. Nice extension and use of her height. She struggled with the landings of some of her jumps though. Technically from a jump perspective not overly wonderful though really. Yes some were big jumps but some rather iffy landings and she is missing the lutz all together.
Czisny should have gotten Bronze at Worlds. Kostner seems to be riding on her past reputation. At any rate, I'll predict Skate America, which opens today, to go Czisny Gold, Kostner Silver and Makarova Bronze.
her jumps are so nice. very good performance. but i think alissa should have been 3rd, and maybe alena left in 4th and carolina in 5th but possibly switched around.
Is it just me, or am I the only one who noticed that at first she was spinning right handed, but her jumps were left handed? After it was almost over she changed her spins back to left handed.
It is so great to see her do so well! I'm glad she's back to seeing her true talent and potential. What is strange to me is that, it seems that at this worlds, the technical level has declined quite a bit. Remember when 7 triples were required to win a world gold? I hope we get back to that point again, b/c the tech. quality has gotten better in pairs, men's and dance.
It was beautiful but I think that the level is so low.. ten years ago a program like this without 3lutz, 3+3... far away of Maria Butyrslaya, Michelle Kwan, Viktoria Volchkova, Sara Hughes, Irina Slutskaya, Angela Nikodinov...
Simply the best!...I'm so happy! I really hoped in a place on the podium for her, she deserved it after the past two seasons, although she had problems on jumps this season due to an injury. GO CARO!
I had tears in my eyes watching this. There's nothing more beautiful than this when Carolina skates with joy and heart like this. So many gorgeous qualities to her skating.
if she had only kept up that pace she had in the beginning, it would have been stellar. but this is a good interpretation of the music.

Come on, though some people might think she's not as pretty as Alissa, but at least she jumps properly--actually brilliantly.

@sk8ingcoach1 That doesn't mean anything. In overall it proves even more that Alyssa is better.

@boguswoman81 ok I just thought your spins and jumps both had to be either right handed or left handed. I didn't know you could do both.

@xlutskaya I don't think that the leve is low.
Ten years ago the judges just didn't care about perfect jumps-triples were under-rotated and lutzs were flutzs.
Now the judges take all of this into account.
That's why the level seems so low.
