To start off, I voted the status quo, but I will update my vote after watching in detail and reporting back.
ETA:
Beam:
1-Miller - Fewest deductions, best amplitude although her lines are clean but economic and she is going from one elements to the next
2-Podkopayeva - More deductions, best stylized balletic line and blend of elements but her leaps demonstrate low amplitude and she has some visible corrections
3-Kochetkova - Most deductions, visibly did not get around on a turn and really did not have the same level of fluidity and surety of Miller and Podkopayeva
Note: Agreed with judges
Floor:
1-Podkopayeva - best stylized balletic line and blend of elements
2-Miller - clean economic line, not bad in any way but less flare than Podkopayeva
3-Kochetkova - journeyman Russian performance, few deduction but also very little stylizing
Note: Agreed with judges
Vault:
1-Miller - Higher chest than Kochetkova, good landing
2-Kochetkova - Lowest chest, good landing
3-Podkopayeva - Highest chest, imperfect landing
Note: Disagree with the judges tying Miller and Podkopayeva. I could tie Kochetkova and Podkopayeva.
Uneven Bars:
1-Kochetkova - Fewest deductions
2-Podkopayeva - Had visible flaw, minor intentional safe landing
3-Miller - Had visible flaw, minor short handstand
Note: Disagree with the judges giving Podkopayeva a higher score than Kochetkova. I could tie Miller and Podkopayeva.
It is still more or less a tie, but I think Miller won on the grounds of "least deductions". Podkopayeva would win if virtuosity could make up for some lessor execution. Kochetkova was economical, like Miller, but also had more deductions like Podkopayeva, which put her into 3rd. I was disappointed to see that Lilia intentionally landing with one foot behind the other in vault and bars to trade some execution for consistency.
I updated my vote.
