So after reading everything and seeing what many of the experts had to say, it seems that it was actually non-subjective scoring that won the Russian the gold. Had it been exclusively a subjective score based on artistry, Yuna Kim would win hands down.

Even a layman watching the two skates can see that Yuna Kim is a league of her own when it comes to the non-technical elements. The Russian was just kind of waving her hands around between a lot of decent jumps... and what was with her music selection? That was awful.

Anyway, the system of scoring should be blamed. A skater can be good at jumps and below average at everything in between and still win gold.

Of course, the question then is how were they so close in the component scoring??
