Carolina Kostner leads Italy to the final, but does not compete there again

Carolina Kostner enchanted Sochi with a breathtaking performance on Saturday afternoon. The Val Gardena native, who is celebrating her 27th birthday today, led Italy to fifth place in the team competition and thus into the final. But she won't be competing in the free skate tomorrow because she's returning to Oberstdorf to prepare for her appearance in the individual competition on February 19th and 20th.
