Sotnikova landed seven triple jumps to six for Kim and scored more than 5 points higher in the mark for technical elements, winning the long program with 149.95 points. She finished with 224.59 overall points.
Kim skated a calm and poised tango routine and finished with 144.19 points in the long program, but she did not attempt a triple loop or a double axel, triple toe loop combination, as did Sotnikova. Also, Kim did not receive the highest level for her step sequence or her layback spin. She took the silver medal with 219.11 collective points.
Despite all that, a debate is likely to roil the sport again, with Kim’s legions of fans contending that she deserved another gold.
“It was totally fair,” said Elvis Stojko, the two-time Olympic silver medalist from Canada. “Adelina was ready. Kim didn’t have enough technical ammunition.”
