If Yu Na does a clean short she will score atleast 76 in the short (and the Russians no higher than 72 something). Guaranteed. Her short at last years Worlds wasnt clean, she messed up a spin and had a lip call, and the program itself sucked anyway. Plus she wasnt established as the top dog anymore, which now she clearly is again. Mao will still have the potential to get a similar or even higher score if she skates a perfect short with the 3 axel, but nobody else.
Agreed. The judges won't make the mistake of holding Yuna down again, especially when she proved that she can and will still dominate the rest of the competition without their help. And if they do, it'll be more than an issue of her skating in one of the first groups ... people will begin to suspect political motives that involve giving the home team a little nudge in the right direction.
