Stupid Caro Kostner just because the ASIANS not Yuni and MAO beat her ass this year Olimpic, she had to be a sorry LOSER and said such a stupid thing and YES racist comment about them being a robot, sorry LOSER KOSTNER.

Typical Whitey attitude, I encounter many of them in real life, just because a minority can beat their superior ass they can't handle it.

OMG when did Caro say this about the asian skaters??

[waddleduckie1]

DimaOlerd.. Mao Asada is NOT a robot, and neither is Yu Na Kim. Stop being silly and stupid at the same time.

It's really a big shame that Caro mentioned " Asian robot babies". She should learn to curb her racism and arrogance at least during the interview. Now she wants Orser as her coach!! It's a laugh!! She only blames her coach for the disastrous performance in LA?

She was only fifth among European ladies at this WC in LA while Laura was above all the European ladies

@yagudicandelo although arguable, KOSTNER's declaration doesn't contain any form of racism. It's about referring to a kind of school of skating and psychologic attitude. Carolina is a sweet ,kind, sensible person. I think it's mostly a YOUR problem at seeing racial implications, it's your supposed form of political correctness that has racial thinking skizophrenic issues. So,calm down and feel free to bash her way to skate but stop blaming her for that.

[yagudicandelo]

You have the point but she's better than three foot landing Caro plus Laura didn't mention " Asian robot babies" :D

@yagudicandelo I know you wrote this comment a long time ago, but could you please send me a link to the interview/article where Kostner says that? I'm really curious to read it! Thanks!! ^__^

Hei vähä siistii jotku virolaiset idiootit alko itkee ku suomalaiset voitti suomessa...

[girlborn1979]

Okay, Italians and Finns, let's be 100% honest: Kostner fell in the SP and that is her own mistake. She did not even manage to jump and it was supposed to be a lutz. She knows how to do it because during practices she landed that jump over and over and over again. She got all emotional and messed up - her own mistake. But downgrading her spin in the FS the way they did it - I wonder whether you can call that appropriate. And had that spin not been downgraded, she would have won the competition.

[Uglefanatikeren]

That decition of the technical panel, not giving her credit for that spin was fair. That is what the rules tell them to do. It is a pretty silly mistake Kostner did on that intended change sit spin. But a very fair podium considering what the girls did through the competition. And btw, the spin is no value, not downgrade. Downgrade is for jumps only. :)

c'mon...everytime carolina has won something there was plenty of pople who were envy to her and complained...this is our turn don't you think!??

no...I'm just jocking... I won't complain about laura winning...I honestly think that the judges gave her too much high score but that's ok...I'm happy for her that she performed well at home and I enjoyed her skating!

At the same time I'm so happy for carolina that she performed a beautiful program after that shame of a short!

[Scandinavian92]

umm..You're envious!

[sunnyrunner86]

know she didn't, actually she was were suprised when she won. Ilike laso Carolina and I think many Italians are just bitter and jelaous. I know Carolina is better ovarall, but Laura was better this time.

[Iride]

Well, I'm Italian but I'm not envious. It's Carolina's fault. She fell in the short. Next time, Carolina, take it easy.

[sunnyrunner86]

No it isn't, one mistake cost her gold, but overall Carolina is better skater yet.Laura maybe few years from now as good as she is, but this time Laura won fair and square.

[girlborn1979]

This is so unfair. Go Kostner go!!!
