The international press and the experts argue that the russian's program was more difficult to perform. The more complex the program the more consideration the judges should have when giving the scores.
I don't see how a stumble could get her a 5.6 from the italian judge when the other judges gave her high scores. Kwan fell on her butt and she was given 5.6 scores.. in the opinion of many the italian judge was too harsh with the russian skater, and that low score made the difference between silver and gold
