4:20 one was the best

Nowadays my eyes hurt every time when i see shcherbakova’s so-called “Quad lutz” with 0 toe-pick assistance

Back when the judges were strict

Actually it depends on skaters not times. Look at sarah hughes or mao asada. They have incredibly edge proglem in this jump.

@@suihan1540 but I’m glad Mao finally got her outside-edged lutz in 2016 before retiring😌

What is that supposed to mean? People used to throw flutzes back then like crazy. Medvedeva, Osmond and Sakamoto didn't invent the uncalled flutz yesterday.

Right!? She had such precise and crystalline technique!

A proper flip needs to take off on a slight inside edge (straight line entry). The deeper the inside edge, the more pre-rotated it tends to be. So, your assertion that she was the only one to demonstrate the difference between a triple flip and lutz in Sochi is incorrect, because Yuna performed flawless triple flips and lutzes in that competition. The only thing more hideous than a flutz is a deep inside edge triple flip.

@@DeepSeas.. still 3F must have an inside edge takeoff and textbook toe jumpers usually indeed have slight inside and that's perfectly fine. However these skaters could also sometimes appeared to switch to flat at times. So IMO it's still better to have clear inside edge. Caro 3F is rare, she had clear inside edge while maintaining that minimum prerotation. The other skater I know of is Rika Kihira. Note the difference with deep inside edge with severe prerotation like Shoma Uno has, which IMO is so ugly

@@yohanes2034 I don’t know who started spreading this wrong information on flip jump: flatter is better. Slight inside edge is acceptable but not ideal. Real flip jump with clear inside edge is difficult to control and tends to be over-rotated, because the jump is realized by centrifugal force. Many of good Lutz jumpers do not rely on centrifugal force in their 3F. Hanyu admitted that he had edge issue on flip jump, that’s why he added many turns right before 3F take-off to keep slight inside edge, and never tried 4F. That change made 3F itself harder but minimized his edge issue. I respect his effort, even though he is not particularly my favorite. I love Sakamoto’s, Kostornaia’s, and Rippon’s 3F. The beauty of Caro’s Lz is that she approaches on outside edge, not only take-off. Quite many female skaters have long run-up on flat-to-inside edge to gain the speed, which is totally fine, as far as they take off on outside edge. I love Trusova’s 4Lz, too. But the very authentic(original) Lz has deep outside approach, like Caro does. The other best example I know of is a male skater Machida.

Both Carolina and Yuna deserved the top 2 spots on the podium. They both did lutzes and had proper technique on the other jumps, whereas Sotnikova's lutz was a floop (lutz --> flip --> loop) because of the prerotation and switching into an inside edge. One of her triple toes were more than a quarter underotated, it was so obvious other than to the judges and to the Russians

@@mht4908 I agree with you 100%. They were both ripped off because of the fact they were in Russia with 2 Russian judges and 1 cheater. How the wife of the director/president of the Russian figure skating association (not sure what they call it) ended up on the panel of judges is anyones guess. How was it that the lead technical judge was also Russian? How did a judge who cheated at the 1998 Olympics end up judging at another one? It was all fixed and I will always say that the ISU let everyone down by not doing their job. They should have stepped in and made things right.

In some way we could stress that her sensational speed + textbook technique is her difficult entry to any jump.

you say horrible taste, i say FASHION ICON🤩

Some dresses, yes.

I think for most cases she doesn't have much say in how her dresses should look like

I disagree. She's Italian. She's fashionable by nature

Many of her dresses were designed by the worldwide known designer Roberto Cavalli who drew many creations for Carolina . She had such a long career where she could shows a lot of different styles .
