They have been going full bore Oprah on Rochette up here in Canada so that is probably true. Sentiment is worth a few points I guess.
Hmm?
Nagai was outskated in the short program by Rochette.
62/68 vs 65/60.
I agree that Nagai should have been ranked higher. Let’s have artistic match the technical: 62/62/ vs 65/65. That bumps Nagai up 6 points. She was down by 8. Still not enough.
Nagai was simply too far back to take the Bronze.
