But its lack of any transitional moves into jumps dragged down her score, as did a footwork sequence and layback spin that got reduced base values.</div> <div> </div> <div>Lipnitskaya, 15, insisted she felt no pressure despite having become the talk of her nation with two dazzling performances in helping Russia win the team gold last week.</div> <div>“I feel sad,” she said, buoyed only by a score not as low as she expected.</div> <div> </div> <div>There was no way to explain how Sotnikova is so close to Kim. Her jumps were of substantially lower difficulty, and she must have thought “Carmen” was a 100-meter runner, given an interpretation of Bizet’s music that consisted of racing pell-mell around the rink. “The judges make the decisions, and today I’m very grateful to them,” Sotnikova said. </div> <div> </div> <div>That the air went out of the building after Lipnitskaya fell proved a boon to Kostner, who skated next.</div> <div>“I was a little afraid going after Yulia,” Kostner said. “I tried to think positive and light things. I am very relieved.”</div> <div>Kostner, 27, opened with a triple flip-triple toe combination instead of the easier triple toe-triple toe. She finished by holding a prayerful pose, reflecting both what the “Ave Maria” represents in the liturgy and her feelings toward a roller-coaster career that has included a world title and five European titles.</div> <div>“It was kind of like a prayer to say thanks for everything I have been living and learning through skating, for being able to compete in the Olympics a third time,” she said.</div> <div> </div> <div>요약정리</div> <div>1. 김연아 : 클린했다. 하지만, 스텝과 레이백 스핀 등 연결동작이 취약해서 점수를 깎아먹었다.</div> <div>2. 리프니츠카야 : 생각보다 낮지 않은 점수를 받았다. (넘어진 거에 비해서)</div> <div>3. 소트니코바 : 점프 난이도가 김연아에 비해 낮았는데 어떻게 비슷한 점수가 나왔는지 알 수가 없다.</div> <div>4. 코스트너 : 점프를 3T-3T 보다 어려운 3F-3T로 시작했다. 롤러코스터 같은 성적을 표현하는 듯한 마무리 동작으로 끝냈다.</div> <div> </div> <div>뭐, 무지한 혹자들은 김연아선수의 점수가 벤쿠버 쇼트 프로그램처럼 78점 이상 나올 줄 알았다고 하는 사람도 있지만,</div> <div>그녀가 받은 74.92점은 그녀의 복귀 이후 쇼트 프로그램 최고 점수고, 그녀의 역대 다섯번째로 높은 점수라고 하더군요.</div> <div>문제는 김연아선수가 적게 받은 게 아니라,</div> <div>- 어차피 같은 효과를 가져왔지만 -</div> <div>소트니코바가 홈 어드밴티지로 지나치게 높은 점수를 받았다는 것입니다.</div>
