Yes, it's not discounted completly like an illegal elemnt usually is. 1A with -3's is pretty close to zero points though.

Right.

I'm not outraged with 85 with a 1A. That program looks even better than when I saw it at Skate America (again, the axel error nonwithstanding) last year. He usually scores 10+ on his Axel, especially since it's done in the second half, so he would've been in the 95 range (as he was in SkAm) if he didn't make that error.

ETA: He earned 11.49 points on the 3A at Skate America last year....so he lost a ton of points.

Yes, I am surprised Mirai's score wasn't higher. Beautiful use of arms and hands.

Men have to do a 2A or 3A. There's no 1A option. Illegal element. 85 when a whole jumping pass gets chucked is just...really?

Well, compared to his clean skates last season he lost 10+ points in TES, which pretty much accounts for a triple axel with +GOE, so I don't see your point.

Mirai was lovely--but the combo was clearly UR, and I'm guessing there were URs as well. This was precisely the problem in Nats last year as well. I was also waiting for that cute smile throughout the program, but I saw no emotion on her face until the program ended :(

This is not good. The live link blocked for the second time during Juulia Turkkila's interview:(.

Hard to understand that a skate like that only gets 10 points below mirai.

Julia has improved in her expression quite a bit! She doesn't seem as much as a robot. I really enjoyed her program!

Little Julia is bringing it. Leonova will need to put her nerves in check if she has any dreams of going to Sochi. This is a race I believe between Adelina, Liza and Julia.

For the first time since I can remember: I REALLY liked watching Julia! There's still room to improve, but she's a lot better than last season (to my eyes, at least). Good score too :thumbsup:
