Rewatching Mirai and Joannie's SP, I don't think Mirai was underscored. Maybe Joannie's jump elements were better, maybe Mirai's were, they looked comparable to me. What really struck me was how well Joannie conveyed the longing, seductiveness, and emotion of her Argentinian tango SP. On the other hand, Mirai seemed completely disconnected to her Pirates of the Caribbean song. The only thing I could feel was a teeheeheehee I'm a little girl skating feeling. It didn't make sense, even when the music was very dramatic and swelling, Mirai didn't do anything other than have an unnaturally gigantic smile on her face. I think it's from Frank telling Mirai to smile too much.
In addition to the points you make, I also think that as long as Joannie did well, no power on earth would have been able to slip ahead of her for the bronze. She was skating on home ice and was in a state of bereavement. And she was the best ladies' skater Canada had had for years. In fact, she did skate very well, and very expressively. Unless Mirai was miraculous, there simply wasn't room at the top for her.
How would the SP and LP programs be marked if it was in the 6.0 system.
Yu-Na would get 5.9 6.0 from me
Mao: 5.8 and 5.8
Joannie: 5.7, 5.8
Mirai: 5.8, 5.7
Miki: 5.7, 5.7
