Does anyone else think Miyahara was underscored in PCs? I thought she had great maturity on the ice, and good skating skills... :S

I think Satoko is a really, lovely skater...and yes, I agree she has great maturity on the ice. She's quickly becoming one of my new favorites!!
Ooooh... look who's talking? (Chan deserved his mark, deal with it, too!)well that's just said if you think B/S = Julia
Julia deserved her marks , deal with it !!!

Julia's reaction to her score is priceless. She is fierce as hell and I love that about her
Carolina's program is, at least to me, very special. I can't believe this is her last season, she will be dearly missed :no:
Mirai was underscored yesterday
The judging of this event gave me death in my soul. I should be cynical enough to know that is the case already - yes - but it was a particularly in-your-face confirmation that it's all about politics/momentum and the judges don't see to be very concerned with how the elements and the programs are actually performed on the ice...
Do you mean in general or in that particular performance?
In that particular performance, the axel maybe didn't have a great deal of height but it wasn't done barely-over-the-ice-Lipinski-style either and it was well-balanced on the landing and had good speed out so I'd say +1 GOE.
However:
There wasn't a lot of speed and flow out of neither the lutz (which had a slightly 'heavy' landing, she seemed to have her weight on most of the blade straight away) nor the toe and there was hesitation between the two jumps. Base GOE would have been fine but I don't see how +1 and +2 could be applicable to that element.
There was a short gap after the footwork preceding the 3flip and it was off an unclear edge, if you want to give her the benefit of the doubt (and the panel did). She was on the outside edge when the step into the jump was almost finished and appeared to be rolling onto the inside edge just before lift-off. In real time, I thought it was a lip but would have to watch it frame-by-frame to be 100% sure of the edge status when she took off.
In general, unclear edges on flip and lutz is something we've seen from her in the past (and yes, she doesn't get as much height as most skaters - but then, she is quite tiny).
