What did she score on her short program?
What happened did she fall?
I'm not sure if we are allowed to comment on the exact scores until the competition is over but she's in the lead. She didn't fall, what happened was a popped 2nd part of her 3Lz-3Lo combination, so it basically was a 3Lz-1Lo. The single loop was therefore invalid and she received negative GOEs, she practically left 10-11 points on the table. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it - as Alina herself has mentioned on her interview - she got distracted and was kind of tense. The B.ESP commentator was right that it was rather a mental thing and not a technical issue, since her combos in practice and in the warm-up were very solid.
