Based on her NHK long program performance, I see Karen is a fighter. But she doesn't have that wow factor. If judges wanted to, they could have scored her PCs higher, as some folks have said she didn't score that high.
As for Karen ... I was really impressed by her LP at NHK, she looks like genuine senior skater right now and very strong one already. Those huge jumps (triple lutz!), fast spins, speed & cool interpretation of music From now I am really keeping my eye on her. I think she was bit underscored & underappreciated. That 3 Lo < call I do not agree with too but oh well.
