Opening jump combination aside, she had some good technical content. Would like to see more polished positions, and more finished in the limbs throughout the program.

118.30 = 3rd Place
173.52 = 5th Place

Good technical elements, but the program was a bit flat, and lacking in musicality, and expression.
