Alina kept her level 4, great!!!
Mariah and Alaine (pity for the jumps) as well. If she keeps it like that, Mariah and Bradie can be a nice surprise duet this season for US. I like their programs and performances so far.

As I said earlier, I think it lacks a bit of cohesion. I agree the elements are nice and she has good transitions but they all felt like separate parts of a skate rather than one skate. I think once she can weave those different parts more seamlessly then I think it will look great. It’s an early season performance.
I do like the dress though!
never said it's not hard tho! i know it is. I just find it weird that you're bringing in evgenia's situation when her poor performance at aci is not something you usually expect from her. Also her coaching situation + injury and everything is why some people were understanding (although i've seen tons of people also dragging her for not delivering so not everybody was as understanding). It is however not unusual for Marin. She has improved a lot during the summer. I saw her practice much more difficult combos in some footage but her issue with nerves isn't something new. That's all i was saying
She's second with 71.5, not 75, but still a great achievement!
Well, I'm sorry then that you felt offended by the comparison. It seems like whenever Evgenia is mentioned there seems to be a problem. Evgenia and Marin were the two skaters who made a huge change this season coach wise, to another country so I saw parallels there. Of course they are in a different situation as Evgenia is a two time World Champion and Marin...is not.
I think the main problem with Alinas music isnt that the cuts are bad (some are actually nice imo) but that there is just to many of them!

Why? i thought it should be her highest mark based on the elements she puts in and variety of them, as the variety of her body movements/positions and skating in general/steps/turns...
I agree with you to some extent that her programme today lacked cohesion. I dont think the problem is how she 'COmposed the programme' today on ice (and that CO mark should be lowered as a product of that), but like you said because she didnt succeed to connect (elements of the) programme with her transitions that good. Probably judges were thinking similar when they didnt award her in TR this time (in the past her TR score was usually on pair with her SS score, or even higher!).

Composition
An intentionally developed and/or original arrangement of all types of movements according to the principles of musical phrase, space, pattern, and structure. In evaluating the Composition, the following must be considered:
• Purpose (idea, concept, vision, mood);
• Pattern / ice coverage;
• Multidimensional use of space and design of movements;
• Phrase and form (movements and parts structured to match the musical phrase);
• Originality of the composition.
