Ladies Figure Skating Results

[ceebeegee]

I am disappointed Sasha didn't win--but she did get a silver. Sasha, sadly, is known for rarely putting together two clean programs in one competition. She is soooooo talented, a gorgeous skater, but her nerves or something get to her. She gets a lot of silvers, and she should be bringing home golds. But she's fantastic anyway, and we love her, and YAY SASHA for winning the silver!

What exactly is the criteria by which they judge artistry? I didn't watch figure skating this year, but when I used to watch it the commentators would make vague references to a skater's artistry without ever really explaining what it is. Is it something subjective and determined by a judge's taste? Are costume and music selection factors by which an athlete is judged?
