I like both Polinas.
Polina E really missed an opportunity, like many of you said here, to move up from that #3 spot. It's just very puzzling that she and her team seem to understand that maturity is important - the SP was gorgeous and when skated clean showed great development and maturity - but appeared to say I don't care I'll look like a junior for the long and do cutesy.
From the past season Polina also probably had a buffer. It seemed like Mirai would not be able to catch up. That buffer is now gone, and it isn't just Mirai. The other Americans are thirsty for a top 3 spot and if you don't lay it down and stake your claim then they will triple triple their way in.
I hope Polina gets better programs. Maybe Jeff Buttle and Akiko Suzuki. She should also really improve her speed because that can make a huge difference.
