You seriously think that Leonova getting PCS in the 8s can be justified?
She was just stroking into the jumps (almost the whole length of the rink into a lot of them). She has fantastic performance skills and a lot of her programs played that out really well in the past but we didn't even get to see that this time because the program was so empty and didn't give her an opportunity to show off her expressive side.
Are Leonova's basics better than Meite's? Obviously. But they aren't great either. And Leonova's program was just awful. She almost certainly deserved higher PCS but I don't think that she deserved much higher PCS.
This is 4th highest total score ever. Top three were Yu-Na Kim.

Yeah, I meant she's now the second highest scoring skater. Kim holds more records.
