Mao Asada vs Adelina Sotnikova - Sochi Olympics is a Scam

Why were all of Mao's UR's and edge violations called but the same judges and technical panel FAILED to detect ANY of Adelina's errors?

ISU is a scam and Sochi was a mugging by the RSF.

[Mikiko_Satoska]

Kim Yuna, Mao Asada, Carolina Kostner, Gracie Gold and all other women figure skaters have all been ROBBED at SoCHEAT 2014 olympics🤬🤬

[singingpinkclover]

so they clearly know what under-rotation and wrong edges are and they precisely give all penalties to mao, yet, they refuse to see adelina's even clearer poor skills?

I am so happy you compared Mao and Adelina. What pisses me off till this day is the fact that Adelina's PCS and GOEs were so overscored. The corruption is too much.

[imsuingyou]

I think that Mao is a good artist, better than Adelina. And same with the skating skills. It is so confusing why Adelina won, she should have not won. We just love a rigged competition! :(

[rlopen]

WTF lmao how tf did Sotnikova's step sequence score higher than Mao's...which to this day is an iconic step sequence that people still remember and rewatch?

[JR-jnms]

I don't understand Yuna's FS score was lower than Adelina's, but also don't understand Mao's FS score was lower than Adelina's. Yuna and Mao's FS scores shoud have been higher than Adelina's.

[alexamyeon]

Can't stop looking at Asada, she just looks so elegant. Sotnikova's choreo wouldn't even stand a chance against Asada's if the judges weren't biased.

I cried during that Rachmaninoff program of Mao.. My most favorite program of hers.

[FatimaMarques]

Poor Mao. I feel sad for her. I mean her few mistakes were obvious and called, that's fine but how was she so underscored I other well performed elements? ISU corruption knows no limits. This was so illustrating. I learn more and more thanks to you, Koola!!!

[sophiev.]

Mao’s step sequence took my breath away. It was so amazing.

[mahlenm]

Comparing the 2 skaters side by side you can see the difference. How Sotnikova scored higher component scores I will never understand. Her choreography was so jerky and ugly.

[rvsone]

Fun fact: ALMOST every time Mao and Yuna took part in an international competition together, one of them won. The only woman that was able to beat them both was Miki Ando and she did that in 2007 and 2011 Worlds (I didn't count 2014 Olympics because we all know Yuna won the SP and overall and Mao won FP so byyye).

[Angelica_Rodriguez]

Dude, that step sequence comparison made my jaw drop. Mao's step sequences are magical as is, but the differences were drastic.

[renzstaines]

Dw. Adelina is irrelevant af and hated now. Mao and Yuna stay winning.

[cindynguyen]

Sochi honestly killed figure skating. Sotnikova's win was a joke and since then the sport has also been a joke.

[etherealtb]

Mao should've won the LP. THAT was yhe performance of the night. Best footwork sequence EVER!

[gunaymuradova]

If you don't know anything about figure skating, just look at the time they spend on their step sequences. They can't be in the same level.

[mj_waddles]

Mao is also another victim and her great skating dirtied by ISU's corruption and tricks. Thank you for doing this side by side comparison. Adelina deserves none of the +2s and +3s.

[kenanquitco]

even if Mao was skating in an earlier group, she should've scored much higher in components. Poor Adelina, Russia was so desperate to have a medal, and since Lipnitskaya botched her short, they had to boost her up even if it was quite obvious that she just wasn't that good.

[jejones]

This was Mao's best every program in my opinion. What a shame and a sham.
