I was actually in Japan instead of the States this month, so I really appreciate it. Dick mentioned it a bit, but from what I can fathom from forums and what not, he seemed quite irritated with the final placements...hehe...

I'm grad u enjoyed it.

sorry for the bad quality videos.

haha. no. even us Yu-na fans agree Mao won this event! Her concentration was top class. In this clip, Dick Button kinda said "hey, why did Kostner get so many marks?" and I think he has a point.

I absolutely agree...Carolina flailed all over the place. I don't care if she landed a 3-3-2, it doesn't make up for such a sloppy performance. Despite the wrapped foot, I think Yukari Nakano deserved that silver. The judges were unwilling to post an all-Asian podium, especially when the championships were being held in Sweden.

Italians, please stop saying racist comments about Mao!!!! We are not going to argue anymore.

Caroline should be UNDER the podium!

I think your description of Kostner made me laugh. You must have a terrific sense of humor. LOL.

馬鹿かお前！

Every where I turn I read people bashing Carolina Kostner. Where would you have placed her? Third? Forth? Twenty Eighth? Honestly, it's bogus. She is an accomplished skater, not a "jumping frog" or whatever. Let's not all go nuts here.

In 2007, they had an all Asian podium. Miki and Mao from Japan, Yuna from South Korea.

I absoluately agree Carolina is overvalued. In spite of her first 3-3-2 jump, her performance was not that good overall. Her sprial made people nervous and she touched the ice because of unbalance. She only did well on step sequence. Yukari should be bronze or silver medal instead.
