Polina deserves her gold, but Zijun should definitely have medalled, appalling PCS, and I didn't see the URs.

Gracie got the 10th-worst TES of the night... a big ouch, considering that's supposed to be where she has a leg up on her competition.
Although the smartest thing she did was just do a 1T+1L on her 3S. Otherwise she'd have been 5.61 points lower.
nhk sp?which was this? I am not being facetious, i honestly don't remember her skating clean all season.
I agreed with the result in Sochi. I don't agree with the result here.
That said, although I preferred Zijun's programmes, I am absolutely delighted for Polina getting her first Senior Gold!

She told Frank she "did her best." She doesn't even seem to care that she keeps bombing one performance after another. She's only had one clean skate all season and shows zero signs of pulling herself together.
Everyone who bought out the pitchforks about Miyahara's borderline jumps in the SP should also bring the same pitchforks to pillory Li's jumps, because Li didn't receive a single UR call despite the fact that some of her jumps looked pretty suspicious.
Congrats to Polina to bring USA a Gold Medal finally!
Gracie.... Should have been Gold and Silver for USA
Huge opportunity for Gold... if she doesn't clinch this victory....
This title is Gracie's to take, if she doesn't win then...uhm no words lol
I'd love it if Polina won it all. The USFS would go into hysterics.
I'm happy for both of them. They've both had crap years (can we have a chorus please of Growing Up Is Hard To Do) and this was a nice bit of redemption.
And for the record, I think Caro should have won in Sochi. But c'est la vie and all that jazz.
Tea. Hot tea. It does wonders. I really should put the kettle on. Anyone care for a cuppa?
This. I don't GET it. Gracie is one of the most GIFTED skaters I've ever seen;

Li: 3flip3toe(ur), 2axel3toe, 3lutz(e,ur?), 3loop(ur?), 3flip(ur?), 3sal, 2axel - nice, but iffy landings? http://exm.nr/1MmwcFX #4CCSeoul
