omg I cried that is like an Olympic worthy performance...Kanako is just so beautiful asakasasl I can't even
Yes, judges were so lenient here they called multiple underrotations/downgrades on others-- a 2Lo underrotation on Murakami? And PCS here was generally quite low, only one got over 60? If you want lenient, that's Euros.

Kanako can score higher than Ashley here is because of her gorgeous program...imo.
maybe on PCS but Technical side not so much, still doesn't explain how Miyahara got a 120+
at Euros Kostner got an underroation too so did Adelina, and Adelina, Julia got dinged on flutz
Zijun flutzes too and hard to believe Miyahara gets now downgrades and her score here is almost the same as Gracie's SB score
Euros were super inflated!! Everyone had up to a 5+ boost on PCs (okay maybe not everyone, but certainly the favourites).
Miyahara is a very good skater with decent skating skills despite her small jumps. If you look at the protocols, I don't think Miyahara got any downgrades, maybe an underrotation but certainly she's not as bad as you say.
Mirai's URs all in the 2nd half of the program = lack of stamina = exactly what she was worried about when interviewed about her illness.
Team Australia
Also love how so many of Mirai's fans were calling bs on Ashley's boot problems at Nationals but as soon as Mirai shows why she was left off the team they parrot that she's sick no questions asked...
Satoko has Julia's iron nerves.
More like three or four people that honestly are less of Mirai fans and more of Ashley haters -- and aren't present in this thread regardless.
And others were talking about the boot problems because another poster was harping on how horrible Mirai's NHK skates were (which they were indeed) completely ignoring her own boot problems, but had no problem pointing out Ashley's boot problems as a key factor in her Nationals performances. It goes both ways.
Why was the PCS so low here? Kanako got 62 while Julia got 68 at Euros. What the heck?
If we're talking boot problems, I heard the commentators mention that Kanako had been having really ...bad either boot problems or foot pain or both leading up to 4CC. She pushed through and gave a stellar performance regardless. Well done Kanako for not losing focus.
