I am not a skating judge but I have followed it for years and I pay attention when the commentators speak about the point system. Wagner "looks" very technical but when you break down her jumps she makes enough mistakes that the judges must count her down a lot.

A number of years ago, it may have been two or three Winter Olympics, the international skating commission which regulates competition, changed the way they judge because favoritism had taken hold. Now it is much harder to insert.

I wish Carolina Kostner were an American that way we could still see her skate now that she is retiring from competition.
