Mao was second in FS, and won overall by slim margin. I do not understand the fuss about unfair judging on her. Her jumping mistakes did not affect her overall performance, and she performed nearly perfectly for all other elements. it is not like she fell for multiple times and took time to go back to program or slowed down out of exhaustion. Even with a few jump mistakes, her performance was well executed and deserves high PCS.
Well, she could have performed it even better and maybe got even higher PCS, if she'd just cut out the doubles and performed all single jumps! This is a point being lost by many in the discussion: when your program is watered down on the jumps (whether you intend it or not), then it makes some of the PCS components easier to achieve. I see this as one of the unaddressed problems with this judging system.
