To be completely objective, though, by my completely ignorant and untrained eye, it looked to me like the American got jobbed. I wouldn't mind getting an opinion on that from one of the people on this board that actually know a thing or two about this sport.

Both the American skaters, though they went clean for the most part, simply did not have the same elements as the other girls ahead of them. usually in skating that comes with experience and years of coaching.
The Korean was lights out with both footwork and jumps as well as the choreography. The Japanese girl was the one i believed scored a little higher than she deserved. That figure skating though...you never know what the judges see.
