Telegraphing jumps does list as a -1 GOE, but there is no way of knowing whether they called her on that or not. I do know that she would have had to get a far better GOE than even Mao if she even wanted the bronze. So it probably had to be more than just telegraphing or lack of entrances. You and I may both see a program that appears lacking, but I doubt our perceptions of what was lacking reflected the real reason she got 4th. To summarize the scores - if Emily had matched Mao's, Yukari's or Joannie's TES, she would have gotten a silver. For the PCS, she would have had to match Mao's to even get a bronze. But Mao basically won on PCS in terms of the top 3, who all had similar TES around 60. Emily needed +5.77 overall in order to pass Joannie for the bronze. Here's a detailed comparison I compiled of Emily's and Joannie's scores, SP then LP: If I had to pick one single thing, it would be the 2Lz in Emily's second LP element, downgraded from 3Lz. I doubt a clean 3Lz+2T+2Lo would have been enough to get an extra 5.77 points over the downgraded combo, but it would have to have gotten her close, at the very least. So, essentially 1 good jump can count as much as a whole section of the PCS. Oh well. What do you expect. In my dejection after Emily's newest 4th place finish, I have already called Nationals: Kimmie / Caroline / Emily / Ashley. Obvious, perhaps. But if she isn't on the podium at Nat's I'll probably lie around staring at the ceiling for the rest of the day... by the way... the ladies free skate at Nationals will be ON Emily's birthday this year. For whatever that's worth.
