ETA:
It appears there are various differences between a Senior and Junior program. In some jumps, the Junior skater may choose to use doubles instead of triples. In other areas, Juniors must perform specific jumps or spins, while Seniors have more flexible options.
To properly analyze Gabrielle's score if she had skated a Senior program instead, you would need to determine what she did perform in the Junior program. Compare that with the Senior requirements, and remove/add elements that would maximize her potential score. This would require a more intimate knowledge of what she has in her arsenal of jumps, spins, etc. The analysis would need to be performed for both her long and short programs.
if I can watch... Will there be a thread somewhere(under other events perhaps?)
