I'd sort of agree that she needs to be clean, except using those Worlds as examples is silly. Yuna had a total of 5 major mistakes at Worlds 2010 and still placed a mere 6 points behind a clean (questionable downgrades notwithstanding) Mao. In 2011 Yuna was placed above a clean Miki in the SP despite stepping out of a Lutz and executing no footwork before it, and she nearly won the LP despite completely popping her 3Flip and having a 3S-1T combination.that's why i said last year.. that once again yuna needs to be clean/perfect in order to win.. if others do well and yuna doesn't.. she will not win.. 2010, 2011 worlds come to mind.. the judges will not hesitate not to give her the title..
Under-scored territory with one mistake? Have you seen the scoring of her LPs at 2009 or 2010 Worlds? 2009 she had a 2S< and a spin worth 0 points, 2010 she fell and waltzed; both times she still broke 130 in an era that was much stingier with GOE and PCS. When clean, she does get a "clean bonus" that doesn't get applied to her flawed performances, but she is hardly a chronically underscored competitor.Well, if Yuna makes some errors and one of the other top ladies goes clean, then the other skater probably deserves to win. It's about who does it that particular night. My only issue is that when they all make some mistakes, look at Kostner in past years. The judges would be like "oh, she fell? it's ok !" but if someone like Yuna makes a mistake, her score starts plummeting to really under-scored territory.
