Far from it. Julia had trouble with her Lutz pretty often. She's working on it, and is now more in 'sometimes right, sometimes flutz and sometimes lip' category. I didn't look at it while watching her skate, but the edge call isn't that suspicious too me, judging from her history with the lutz.
GPF in Japan and OG in Russia gives the japanese and russian skaters a humongous boost in marks
I wouldn't say Mao got such a huge boost regarding her marks. She has been around 72-73 with 2ft 3As this season already, and this performance was definitly better than the previous ones.
We've seen Chan always get huge PC scores in the past even when his programmes were filled with mistakes. Now, suddenly, this has gone (a bit). Hanyu getting HIGHER PCs would have been unthinkable 12 months ago.
Isn't 87+ still pretty good for a step-out and a pop? Especially since this system eats you alive if you pop a jump... Hanyu's PCS are too high, but Chan's marks are looking fair to me.
