In response to "deevs, did we talk long program yet?" by jingoist pixie

I felt the same way. Couldn't argue w/the scoring. (spoilers?)

Although Nagasu did jump 2 spots up and beat a former World Champion (Ando). She was fantastic. Going over to Frank Carroll was the best thing she could do for herself.

Can you imagine if this were just 10-12 years ago? If you told me then that a woman could complete 3 triple axels in total over a competition and NOT win the event, I probably would have thought you were nuts. Things have changed.

I like when everyone contending skates relatively clean. It was a good competition.

as much as I'd have loved for Joannie to finish higher, she just didn't skate as well as those two. - zork Feb 26, 09:28
also, Mao needs to *lighten the f up* - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:20 3
- I imagine if she wasn't so pressured she wouldn't have been so miserable up there. it's sad when such a wonderful accomplishment is seen as a failure. - Diva Feb 26, 09:22 1

this Olympics has made me more aware of the coaches than the previous ones - my hat is off to Brian Orser -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:15 10
- Tarasova did Mao no favors with that music selection for the long program. It was so Russian and not in a good way. - Diva Feb 26, 09:19 6
  - I see your argument, and I respect that. But I thought it choreographed well were as I thought Kim's music sucked ass for skating. -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:21 4
    - wow - I thought the exact opposite. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 09:23 3
      - her music's rhythym and her skating rhythym rarely aligned -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:26
      - it was classy! -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 09:24 1
        
        the music -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 09:26

  - *pops a Molson's and takes Kim on a Zamboni ride* -- nm - Brian Orser Feb 26, 09:17
*falls again* -- nm - Carolina Kostner Feb 26, 09:14 4
- I was referring to the top flight of skaters. NBC didn't show her, but I hear she was spectacularly bad. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 09:16 3
  - three falls and a touch down. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 09:19 2
    - all in all, this competition was much better than the last one as far as falls go - crash davis Feb 26, 09:24 1
      - yep. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 09:25
