Yuka is going to 4CC per reports from people attending the competition.
They are probably oh-so-strict on everyone in this competition (especially on the ladies) because they want the Japanese ladies to have an edge against the Russian ladies who are great jumpers.
It's nice to see the Japanese being strict in their marks and calls. They clearly respect the sport more than other countries who neglect technical calls and overinflate just for show. It honestly is better in the long run as skaters are actually made aware of what needs to be worked on instead of getting a false sense of positive reinforcement.
It's weird though that the Tech specialists giving skaters > but the judges didn't deduct any points...
not sure if someone mentioned this already but I had no idea you could use 2A+3T twice? does that mean you could technically do a 3LZ+3Toe twice? I guess the 2A+3T is more of a point grabber since you don't get added points for doing a 3LZ+3T vs doing the jumps individually

:thumbsup: I agree with you. I see her improvement from gpf to nationals. She's a good student!I've gotta say- I hate Rika's posture and find her kind of meh, but I'm loving her consistency and continuous improvement!
