I think Carolina's jump content hurt her. She got great GOE's for nearly everything she did, but she had a base value of 49.02 while Alissa had a base value of 49.03 WITH two downgrades, an underrotation, and an edge call. That's what you get for doing a flip and a loop while your competitor attempted two lutzes, two loops, and a flip.
Carolina's low spin levels in the LP is what hurt her the most. She had two Level 1 spins. She should easily be capable of making those two last spins a Level 3 or 4. The gold would have easily been her's at Skate America if she had done what she is capable of.
