I thought Rika and Mirai should have gone 1-2 to be honest. Rika had the cleanest skate overall, which I really enjoyed until she inevitably went to that horrible butt spin. Why?! I think these skaters should start watching their own videos on Youtube and realize that that butt spin is just really, really ugly. Mirai underrotated the 3T on her combination but the overall quality was quite something, better than Rika, Alaine or Anna for me.
That 3T from Alaine was most definitely underrotated. She has a nice layback though. And skates a bit like Joannie.
Anna was overscored IMO, she is a lovely girl but her jumps were truly quite ugly yesterday. Also, I can't believe she got +2 and +3's on her layback when she couldn't stay centred and had quite an ungainly position on her Biellmann... especially compared to Mirai that was quite yuck hwell:
So Youn was just disappointing. Seems like she can never have a SP where she lands both her combination and the lutz cleanly. :disapp: She could still medal with a strong FS but I wouldn't bet on it.
