I’ll be honest. I didn’t see this one coming. I’ve always loved Carolina Kostner’s skating (I think she’s one of the most exciting jumpers around today) but she doesn’t always pull it together when she has to. Thankfully she did just that today, landing six triples, and walking away with her first European title. Sarah Meier continued her remarkable season by nabbing the silver while Kiira Korpi scored her first medal at a major international event, perhaps putting to rest any silly Anna Kournikova comparisons. Looks like Kiira’s got game.
It’s hard to believe that the Russians, who normally dominate this event, were hardly a blimp on the radar this year. This is the first time a Russian woman hasn’t medaled at Europeans since 1993. It’s a sign of the times. Unless Irina Slutskaya decides she’s ready to return sometime soon, it’s a pretty scary time right now for Russian skating.
