Olga MIKUTINA (AUT) | NHK Trophy 2024 | #GPFigure

So let's go a young lady who competed in Skate America where she finished in ninth place. This is Olga Mikutina from Austria. No hesitation into the combination. Double Axel that let her down in Skate America. That's her next element. Can she do it here? That's more like it. Plenty of energy there and it looked to be a much better performance than the one that she gave in Skate America. Olga Mikutina from Austria. I'm sure the technical panel will take a look at the combination and I think that flip it looked a little bit tight to me. Well we'll see. She looked so much more confident there. A lovely program. Presented it so well. She didn't look nervous did she? Now was this clean? Here's the Lutz. Outside edge was great. Ah that's short. I thought the toe looked good. Yeah they've given it an under rotation on the Lutz and a cue on the toe. The flip's been given an under rotation as well so that technical score that you saw when she finished the program is going to go down that's for sure. By how much? Lovely piece of footwork. Spins look good. Step sequence gets a level three but that lack of rotation on the jumps will definitely hurt her. It's certainly going to be better than she got in Skate America. Quite as good as her personal best which is 67.18. That's what she got in the World Championships what three years ago. So it's 60.94. Yes it's substantially better than a couple of weeks ago. It's fifth place and a season's best score for her.
