True, but it's Europeans, and they tend to mark on the higher end, like at "Nationals", and like 4CC.But her SB is 72.88.
LIza is known for poor ice coverage though I can't tell whether it is so in this event though.Liza wuzrobbed. I loved that from her, and I'm not usually a big fan. She was so on. I really cant see how the judges thought that was inferior to Rika on performance and interpretation at the very least, plus her 3A is much bigger and more exciting. Grr.

It's a big discussion on some russian sites. There are slo-mo clips posted.

most people arguing that Liza's is same or better, few argue for Rika. I was leaning towards Liza's, but those "for Rika" made a good point, that Rika's landing and flow is much better. Liza landed a bit on a "toe pick", with a small "jerk", and her flow out of the jump is not a smooth and shows less continuity...
yes, same here. They should both be given a little token, a pin, a trophy, for doing "extra" that no one else did in this comp.Rika’s tends to look easier with less setup, but in a way I kinda love that Liza’s looks like work — to me it’s more of a big athletic “wow” moment in the way that it used to feel when Midori and Tonya did it.
