Liza's jumps are great, but Karen's lutz and axel was good.
BV is one point different (30.43 Liza, 29.33 for Karen). Liza got +1 GOE on her jumps and step. Karen got +1 on her lutz, axel and layback, and was close to +1 on another spin.
Hmmm... great jumps VS good jumps. Same GOE? Ok.
Anyway, I respect judges' opinion. And your opinion too But IMO the difference between them is enormous. And not just in PCS. I wonder how judges would have scored Karen if she would have skated her SP here in Finland.
Edit: Of course I'm a bit biased. Just like almost everyone else here
Edit2: Oh and I just realized Karen's lutz was in the second half of her programm.

Yeah, once junior get into senior, their scores might not be that high since in junior they are compared to skaters their age, but in senior they are compared to many other veterans.It's always difficult to compare between competitions, and especially between Juniors and Seniors. Juniors are judged differently, and IMO, that's the right thing to do. I'm not all that enamored with Karen either, but this comparison is a little unfair
Edit: Oh, and what I really came here to say: YES, YES, YES LIZAAAAA!!!
Please skate like that at your GP events, win SA and get into the GPF!
And yes, I hope Liza will soon crack that 70 barrier, she deserves it.
She can move that 3lz into the second half of the program, can she? It's Bolero after all, it's monotonous so the layout can be interchangeable IMO.Without the olympic inflatation from last season, 70+ with a 3T3T will probably be really hard. With a 3Lz3T I think she'd have a shot... but better not to rush things, she looks great with a 3T3T, that combo has great quality!

Yeah, I've heard that Liza's ice coverage is not over the top. But she is still recovering so I understand that she is paying more attention to the jumps.I like Liza, but seeing her live for the first time, I expected more command on the ice. What's wrong with Fleur Maxwell's PCS? Even with her poor jump content she's a real joy to watch.
