I feel for Joannie... Her total combined score with Skate Canada and Cup of Russia, is the fouth highest on the GP series this year, and will probably remain so.. She belongs in the GP final, but had the bad luck of having to face Yukari in both competitions.
Her scores would have won her Skate America, and gotten her second at Cup of Russia, and Cup of China, but what can you do?

That is life. Same fate as Kimmie last year.
Joannie shows to the skating world, where she belongs. She is one of the top contenders. She will have confidence going into the Nationals, 4CC and Worlds. Her jumping techniques are second to none, when she is ON! Go Joannie Go!!!!
Woohoo for Yu-Na!! Still her PCS much too low. :disagree: :scowl:

ITA. Her PCS is a little lower than Mao's at TEB when Mao fell on the 3axel, so she won today because of the TES.
Yu-na's PCS are fine..
I got a link to Yu-Na's performance on YouTube from another thread. Please offend me, if I'm not allowed to post it.

After watching the video several times, I personally think some parts of her scores were somewhat inflated. Comparing to what we saw at CoC, I think there she did a better job in terms of music interpretation and transition. I also perceived some of movements especially spins were a little slow today. Don't get me wrong. I'm a big of Yu-Na and seeing her score will leave a wide grin on my face for all day.
I don't know how her scores could be inflated??? I mean Mao got 60 for PCS at Trophy Bombard and she was slower than she was at Canada... So, I don't know why Yu-na shouldn't get those kind of scores.
Yu-na got the scores she got because her jumps were basically text book, and she landed 7 of them. And she got high levels on her spins, footwork, and everything else.. It's quite a deserved score...
