Stefania finished 16th out of 49 in the FS, with a score of 91.86. This meant that she climbed to 19th place overall, with a score of 135.27.
Here is what I wrote in the competition thread at the time:

Looking at the protocols, I am wondering if I watched the same programme as the Judges. Because there are far more minuses than I would have expected. In fact, the first four elements were completely minuses in terms of GOE and Judges marks!
The opening element was a Triple Flip, and she had a bit of a wobbily landing. But, it was barely more than noticeable. Unfortunately, it was noticed! Judge 5 gave -1; Judge 3 gave -2; four Judges gave -3; and three Judges gave -4. She also got -1.67 in GOE. I thought that was harsh. But, apparently she landed on the quarter and didn't have a clear edge. And I wouldn't have been able to pick that out.
The second element was a Triple Lutz-Double Axel-Double Axel in sequence (as opposed to in combination). And I didn't see anything wrong with it. But it turned out that, like the Flip, the final Double Axel was landed on the quarter. So, -1.10 in GOE; and -1 from two Judges; -2 from six Judges; and -3 from Judge 8.
The third element, the Triple Lutz on it's own, looked fine to me but was under-rotated. Consequently, it also got all minuses, with -1.55 in GOE; and -2 from Judge 2; -3 from five Judges; and -4 from three Judges.
It was hard to miss what when wrong with the fourth element, the Double Toe, though. She had a stumble on the landing, coming very close to a hand down. But, she managed to avoid it. However, the damage had been done. Four -4's; and five -5's. That said, the GOE was actally better than the previous elements, at -0.59.
Thankfully, things improved from there. Apart from a couple of -1's on the next element, the Flying Sit Spin (which I didn't see anything wrong with), there was only one more element that had any minuses. This was the seventh element, the Triple Loop-Double Toe, and the only thing wrong with it was that it was off-axis. And the Judges marks were not too bad, ranging from 0 to -2, with GOE of -0.49.
The rest of the programme was fine. And the moment just before the end pose must have been treated as choreography, because there was no sign of her getting punished for it.
Stefania finished the Free Skate 3.61 points behind 15th position, Valentina ANDRIANOVA (DEU), and 3.77 points ahead of 17th position, Julia van DIJK (NED).
Overall, Stefania finished 0.10 points behind 18th position, Ginevra Lavinia NEGRELLO (ITA), and 3.21 points ahead of 20th position, Mariia SENIUK (ISR). Stefania was 0.87 points behind 17th position, Rosa REPONEN (FIN), and 2.76 points behind 16th position, van Dijk.
It just shows how costly singling out the Double Axel in the SP was. She would probably have finished in 16th position overall if she had completed it. (15th position was too far ahead).
All of which means that when she does both programmes clean, she will be in contention for a Top 15 finish, if not a Top 10.
And we don't have long to wait, as she is doing back-to-back-to-back competitions. She will be doing the last Junior GP in Egna / Neumarkt, Italy, this week, and then doing the Trophée Métropole Nice Côte D'Azur in France the following week.
WELL DONE STEFANIA!!!

I've always loved "Nagada Sang Dhol". So I was so excited when I saw that she would be skating to it.
That said, I thought one of the later pieces of music was a bit too frantic for skating to.
Pity about the landing on the Double Toe. But everything else was absolutely brilliant!!!
Was that a stumble just before her ending pose, or part of the choreography?
I know I'm biased because she's my kid, but I LOVE THIS PROGRAMME!!!!!!
Deserved new leader.

I noticed him missing yesterday, and was wondering if his absence had jinxed her.
SILVER MEDAL!!!
