After finishing fourth at both Senior Grand Prix events last season and missing out on a medal, Lee’s third-place finish in the short program gave her the green light for her first medal challenge.
Her performance left something to be desired in her jump rotation.
After earning 0.99 points for her first jump, a double axel (base score of 3.30), Lee was judged to have insufficient rotation in her second jump, a triple lutz-triple toeloop combination (base score of 9.26), and lost 2.11 points of her GOE.
A triple flip (base score of 5.83) performed in the counting section was ruled a quarter-landing (insufficient rotation at the 90-degree level of the jump), losing 0.30 GOE points.
He finished his performance with a sitspin, a change foot combination spin, and a step sequence, all executed at a level 4.
