Are you saying the judges were planning to give her all 5.9s for technical merit had she skated cleanly, as the first skater, with two skaters to come planning triple axels? That is what her marks would have been with the .1 to .2 you say the judges deducted.
Didn't Kristi also land a 3Lz/3T combination in the LP? Technically the doubling of the Salchow wasn't a mistake - remember under 6.0 you didn't get marked down for what you didn't do you got marks given based on what you did do. So I think giving 5.7s and 5.8s lef tplenty of room for the other skaters who may have done more in the jumps by way of triple axels...and also don't forgot that the Marks were place holders so even if a judge gave as high marks as 5.8 for tech and 5.9 for presnetation, they still had the following to give out for a skater who did better: 5.8, 6.0; 5.9, 5.9; 6.0; 5.9; 6.0, 6.0;
