Kana and Dai are equal to (and in some elements have pulled ahead of) Misato and Tim in every respect other than lifts. Even if all of their lifts across both programs had received 0 GOE they would have still outscored them by 1,34 points overall.
I feel for Misato and Tim, but if they want that Olympic spot they either need to up their game come Nationals or hope for Kana and Dai to make mistakes. Going by how the Japanese judge scored both teams here when nearly clean (he put K/K above M/T in the RD and had M/T ahead of K/K in the FD), the race is not decided yet.
