Yeah, I think Brian said the same thing when she was getting off the ice. But she only got lvl 3s on her final two spins. That indicates to me that she was losing concentration as the program wore on, which is a big red flag, especially when the competition is this close.
Skating, like other individual sports such as tennis and gymnastics, is a very lonely sport. You're out there by yourself in front of a enormous audience, and everything comes down to your performance. That's why tennis players and gymnasts all consult sports shrinks. I'm hoping Yuna's management team is smart enough to do the same.
I keep coming back to sports psychologists because it's obvious that all of Yuna's problems are mental, and b/c of the cultural taboo against seeing shrinks in Korean culture and Brian Orser's statements to the press that "I'm the only person who knows what she's going through." Well, sorry to point it out, but Orser LOST the OGM to Brian Boitano. I don't know if she wants to put all of her mental eggs in Brian's basket, so to speak.
