I've liked her skating for a while, but this year she's starting to come into her own.

Her SP this year is beautiful, and I hope she has a better outing with her FS than she did at Skate America. IMO she always seems a bit underscored, though, in her PCS. She's fast and expressive but always receives average PCS.

Also, does anyone know why her solo loop got negative GOE today? It looks great to me.

No idea, that bothered me as well. It has such good height and flow. Even the Eurosport guys liked it.

Must be something the tech specialist noticed upon repeat slo-mo that us lowly peons just couldn't detect, eh?
