There is no comparison, no idea why you're making one.
Darya is a first year junior, Mariah has had several years in seniors.
"Only approached the level of a junior once in her entire career" sounds like quite the insult.

I don't want to offend anyone. Bell skated very well. But life goes on. What was good yesterday will not be so tomorrow. I wish everyone progress and good mood.
Bell in her best times could easily win Olympics in 198x. So?
The generations come and go.
FS is not a Javelins Athletics and there is no necessity of changing skates to make jumps harder to keep some limits. Like it happened with the javelin in athletics, after the world record passed 100m, making it dangerous to compete in arenas.
FS evolves slower or faster but evolves.
And 10 years of evolution is a great push. Don't disrespect those who started 10y ago.

And also a flat edge but poor girl is already barely rotating her jumps so she gets a pass.

Sad that Liza wont be at GPF. If she didnt botch that 3Lz and 3F in her FS she should be over Miyahara, well its too late! Im kind of surprised they give Miyahara high PCS (deservedly so), but i thought Liza will have the edge because usually Satoko got 68/69 not 72. Probably it will come down between Miyahara and Tennell now. Miyahara sure can get silver/bronze in CoR but could also place 4th, id give it to Miyahara right now
Miyahara got huge PCS and GOE to make up for UR but she competed in neutral event
Tennell had an inflated score at SA that Liza was pushed over for bronze. Ill give the GPF to Miyahara

What bothers me is that panels got selectively strict. Mkay, if youre strict, be strict with everyone. Blatant flutzes of some still get just an ! or get ignored, most flat edges (Satoko, etc) are ignored completely. But then Anna gets dinged for her flat edges alone, Alina gets a call on non-existent flutz and people try make sense of it by talking about cameras, angles bla bla.
Regardless of the camera, it just isnt fair.

Anna's Lutz edge turns flat before she even picks her toe in while Satoko's still has a minimal outside edge when she picks in. The calls were fair. They showed both girl's Lutzes from the front in the replay. See for yourself.

Bell vs. Miyahara is the key thing at CoR ladies competition. Who will be at TP there, that's the question

I saw the replays and I am standing by my opinion.

A proper result would be Miyahara gets dinged on both her flat edges and her UR's.

For me personally, I can see a slight outside edge on Satoko's Lutz.

Satoko has actually gotten edge calls on her lutz. Shcherbakova tried as they may they could only put !.
I think they'll be more lenient with Miyahara

I would agree. Satoko certain does not have a deep outside edge (like Liza or Rika) but it does look slightly outside. It is not ideal technique but it is outside enough to avoid the !. Anna's edge is definitely flat. Additionally, her team knows she has a flat edge and still puts 4 lutz jumps in her freeskate. It is like a challenge to the tech callers. Often tech callers will not call a skater with an e or ! if they only include one Lutz in their program but if they include 2 they will get called. Anna has 4.

Sofia and Satoko had many URs or potential URs even the judges and tech panel couldn't seem to get them all down.
If any take take off edges were overlooked it does not surprise me, with so many jumps under review for UR in the limited time they have to actually review them.
I think we are too hard on judges and tech panels sometimes, whatever reason we have to disagree with them.
They are under a lot of pressure to not make mistakes and to get things right, much like the skaters they judge.
Not only that but they only have a few minutes to make these decisions in the first place.
I disagree with them sometimes but I try to remember it is not an easy job. We can all sit at home and play judge ourselves, but would we be able to handle the job for real without error?
I know I wouldn't.
