If the 2008 Ladies Worlds was still 6.0...

Happy to see Yukari do well in the voting.

For me, it would've been:

1. Mao
2. Yukari
3. Carolina

Kim

Long program

Kim
Nakano
Asada/Kostner
Kostner/Asada

Factored placements

Kim 3.5 (if fifth in the SP; if Kim is fourth she wins outright)
Nakano 3.5 (Nakano might even have been first without the downgrades)
Asada 3.5
Kostner 4.0

Kim wins on tie-breaker, Nakano second, Asada third.

Under 6.0, falls were worse than under CoP judging. But underrotation and edge calls were treated more leniently.

Convincing analysis

!
I also vote for Yuna Kim.

If it was 6.0, Mao will still win and she will probably be first in SP rather than Costner. Yuna will be in 2nd over Costner.

I don't think Kim would have won. She was too behind in the SP, and if she did, it would have been an upset similar to Sarah Hughes under 6.0 system. Also, if according to Mathman, then I think Mao would have won over Miki with her her great LP skate in 2007 because she was in a similar situation in this SP as Kim was in 2008.
