Radionova wasn't overscored. She made an error and then made up for it by adding the 3T later on - which got her more points, actually. It's actually kinda genius ... if she makes an error on the lutz combo, the extra points she gets from adding the 3T in the second half sorta somewhat make up for the -GOE on the lutz.
Compared to Mao though, her PCS was rather high.
I actually thought Medvedeva should have arguably equalled Mao on PCS - as outrageous/sacrilegious as that seems, Medvedeva looked fresher, faster, more confident, had excellent edgework and transitions and spins, and excellent difficulty. She's kind of like Uno - coming out of junior ranks you don't expect her to get the PCS scores, but her programs have choreography and transitions as good as their other ladies, even if she doesn't nearly have the finessing of Mao.
She really doesn't have the quality of Mao or afew others I could mention. Her legs are apart, splayed or crooked most of the time. Not her fault; at her age she doesn't have the muscle to hold beautiful straight pointed legs. Her jumps are fast because of her lightness, again age. But, they are not beautiful or particularly high if I recall. Not to argue here but dissagree.
