Aleksandra finished 16th out of 24 in the FS, with a score of 99.36. This meant that she dropped to 16th position overall, with a score of 155.16.
Here is what I wrote in the competition thread about the Warm-Up:

And here is what I wrote about her programme:

I had completely forgot that Euros would count for getting Minimum TES's for Senior Worlds. But, alas, she didn't get them for either SP or FS.

Looking at the Protocols, the two combination jumps at the start were not as good as I thought. The first, the Triple Toe-Double Toe, got -1 from six Judges; and 0 from 3 Judges. It also got GOE of -0.30.
The second was the Triple Loop-Double Toe, and the Loop was landed on the quarter. It got -2 from seven Judges; and -1 from two Judges. It also got the second biggest GOE hit of the programme, at -0.91.
The next four elements all went well. The sequence of jumps that she did as her fourth element was the only slight blip. As Chris said in commentary, she doubled what was supposed to be a Triple Flip at the start of the sequence. As a result, Judge 3 gave it -1, while Judge 4 gave it 0. But, all the other numbers were positive, with 6 Judges giving it +1; and Judge 8 giving it +2. Although it got the second lowest of the positive GOE's, at +0.28, it had by far the highest Base Value. So the fact that the GOE was not negative meant that the sequence remained as the highest scoring element of the programme.
The sixth element, the Choreographic Sequence, was particularly good. Although it only got 0 from Judge 4, it got +1 from Judge 9; +2 from four Judges; and +3 from three Judges. It also got the highest GOE of the programme, at +1.07.
But then things started going wrong. I said at the time that the Triple Flip didn't have a great landing, and the reason is that it was under-rotated. Consequently, the Judges gave it five -3's; and four -2's. It also got the biggest GOE hit of the programme, at -1.09.
Then she fell on her next two elements, both of which were downgraded. They also both got -5 from all the Judges. The Triple Loop got the third biggest GOE hit of the programme at -0.85, which made it the second lowest scoring element of the programme. The Triple Salchow got the fourth biggest GOE hit of the programme at -0.65, which made it the lowest scoring element of the programme.
Thankfully, it was all rosy after that. In fact, she even got a few of those elusive +4's from the Judges for her final two elements.
The penultimate element, the Layback Spin, got 0 from Judge 7; +1 from three Judges; +2 from two Judges; +3 from two Judges; and +4 from Judge 3. It also got GOE of +0.45.
The last element, the Change Foot Combination Spin, got +2 from two Judges; +3 from five Judges; and +4 from two Judges. It also got the second highest GOE of the programme, at +1.05.
Aleksandra finished the Free Skate 1.60 points behind 15th position, Nataly LANGERBAUR (EST), and 0.09 points ahead of 16th position, Nina POVEY (GBR). All three of them are part of a larger group where 5 skaters are covered by 3.25 points, stretching from Kristina ISAEV (DEU) in 14th position, 2.31 points ahead of Aleksandra, to Mariia SENIUK (ISR) in 18th position, 0.94 points behind Aleksandra.
Overall, Aleksandra finished 0.12 points behind 15th position, Isaev, and 1.11 points ahead of 16th position, Povey. All three of them are part of a larger group where 8 skaters are covered by 5.31 points, stretching from Nataly LANGERBAUR (EST) in 14th position, 0.16 points ahead of Aleksandra, to Nella PELKONEN (FIN) in 21st position, 5.15 points behind Aleksandra.
I know I have thought for a long time that Aleksandra will use this event as her swansong. But, I'm not so sure now. After how well she has been skating all season, I don't think she'll want to say goodbye with two performances that were not clean. So, I would not be surprised if she opted to continue on, perhaps even returing to Kaunas for the Icebeat Winter Trophy in 3 weeks time.
But if this week really is the end of her competitive career, at least she'll have the opportunity to make up for it today, as it will not surprise anybody to find out that she is performing in the Gala.
WELL DONE ALEKSANDRA!!!
The Gala Exhibition is due to start at 15:30:00 EET (13:30:00 GMT). So 6 hours from now.
Aleksandra will be the 4th skater to start. So, fourth skater in Group 1.
And that is as much as I can tell you, because the Gala PDF doesn't actually give times.
But, those times may change if somebody that is due on before her withdraws.

Nice jump when the announcer started talking about Aleksandra. But, she then had a strange random fall just afterwards.
Then she did another nice jump. And then had another strange random fall just afterwards. It was like an instant replay, except it wasn't.
I'm getting worried now. After how beautiful she has been all season, it would be a travesty if things went wrong today.
But, as Chris said, as long as she does it now and not during the programme.
Unfortunately, they didn't show much of her again after that. Apart from when she was coming off the ice.
Oh, I hope this goes well.

Here is what I wrote as she was being introduced before doing her programme:
You could hear the audience clapping in encouragement for Aleksandra all the way through Emmi's highlights!
Here we go. My kid doing potentially her last competitive Free Skate at a Major Championships on home ice.
ALL THE BEST ALEKSANDRA!!!

And here is what I wrote about her programme:
I am hanging onto my hat, Chris. Don't worry about that!
Beautiful combination jump to start. And another beautiful combination jump as her second element too!
Individual Toe Loop beautiful too.
Flip at star of sequence doubled, but Axels beautiful.
Next few elements were good too!
Flip on own not landed great.
Fell on Triple Loop and then on Triple Salchow.
The audience clapping in encouragement her towards the end. The loved the final spin.
Such an amount of support.
Big smiles coming off the ice. And massive hug from David when she came off the ice.
She's got a big heart cushion, and she held it up to everybody.
Into 6th in the FS and overall.
She's disappointed of course, but she's enjoying the moment.
So proud of her.
WELL DONE ALEKSANDRA!!!

As for comments from other members, my Norwegian friend said:
Shame with the mistakes, I guess her TES will go down a little, a really good oppurtunity for Golovkina to try get the World mins, she needs both in the SP and FS.
I had completely forgot that Euros would count for getting Minimum TES's for Senior Worlds. But, alas, she didn't get them for either SP or FS.

Alexsandra. Elegant dress. Good program, a couple of mistakes, but she never lost focus. Great home audience.
