I watched it too.
Yuna had a small balance check - not as big as the russian’s.
Almost falling is not the same as actually falling.
She would have received a small deduction on her landing, and another one for the step she took out of it.
The judges agreed with you about the artistry of the Korean.
But the russian’s difficulty pushed her technical scores ahead.
This is very similar to the showdown between Lipinski and Kwan.
It seems every Olympics there is a front runner who plays it safe and gets usurped by a youngster who out jumps everyone.
Regardless if what you think of the #1 and #2 spot - as far as I can tell the loudest whining is coming from Ashley Wagner.
I think the Russian won because the games were in Russia.
I think anywhere else Kim would have won. Most reliable skating experts come down on the side of Kim. And the gap in the numbers for the Russian and Kim was ridiculous.
