Cupcake was cute but her skating skills were poor overall and every triple "triple" I have her recorded doing is severely underrotated...Irina deserved 1st
She is my favorite skater! Her smile, her energy... Just wow! Sad that she didn't become a world champion, I think she desereved it and sad that she didn't do even a half of what she could in figure skating... But I still like her!
The new Russian hope, Alena Leonova, sometimes reminds me of Elena, I hope she will do well this season!
very well done! the program was absolutelly FANTASTIC! her jumps combination were very well executed but I don't agree with the first place. Despite Irina's combo have been more easy, her program was obviously better (excelent spins, spirals and coriografy)! but justice were done in the free program! IRINA WONN!:P
Yeah I agree. This was great but should have been 2nd to Irina in the short. If Michelle can beat Sokolova without a triple-triple in the short then Irina, a superior short program skater to even Kwan, should be able to as well.
Not to mention the triple toe was a whole quarter of a rotation underrotated. I did like her attack in that combo (and it's a true lutz, which makes it even more impressive), but I also agree that Slutskaya should have came in first.
WOW~ Even the commentators were excited when she did the triple triple, and they should be! This was the season she began coming back. She is amazing! ~KJ
i'm using this as my free program this year :D

@desglacons Her first 3-3 in the LP at 2004 Euros was fine. I agree, though, the rest I've seen have been underrotated.

@GoBogi isn't the jump still counted if it is a quarter under or over rotated? :/
