I think it's all a question of reputation. Like uwieric said, it was her first Worlds and judges didn't know her. So, they were "cautious", not putting her in the first places with a great performance like that. I think it was unfair, but we see it so often in figure skating...
Politics probably. She was a first time skater at Worlds, and the judges don't know her. In 2001 when she skated a similar clean SP, they put her in 3rd place.
underscored just because shes new...too many eastern bloc judges on panel

It's more than just jumps, with everyone skating so well it was nitpicking.
