Sasha was not that high on the international judges yet. She ended up 3rd in the short because she skated on fire, and took some 2nd place votes, since she skated her best short, Irina was unusualy tenative in her short, Hughes was shaky and loses points in her short with flutzes and cheated jumps, and Butyrskaya skated her worst short of the whole year, extremely conservative and tedious. Still not one judge had her over Michelle, she was still behind Irina, and 3 even had Maria's tedious nervy performance over her, although Maria ended up below Sarah in 5th.
In the long her fall on the end of an attempted difficult triple-triple was her only error, she still ended up getting almost no ordinals better than 4th though.
Cohen actually landed 6 clean triples, Kwan two-footed a jump in addition to her fall so had only 5 and no triple flip, one of the more important triples, while Irina did not fall she was slow and had multipled errors, and actually only had 5 clean triples as well. So Cohen ended with more clean triples than either Kwan or Slutskaya and had a more "on" performance than both yet only 1 judge had her over Kwan, and only 1 over Slutskaya I believe.
