F: fall. <: under-rotated. ★ marks an execution among the season's five best of its kind, out of at least 10. ◆ marks an element at most three skaters skate this season and worth at least the usual base value of its kind.

About the program

Shae-Lynn Bourne choreographed Yuna Aoki's free to Cirque du Soleil music from O and KÀ: "Desert," "Pageant" and "Love Dance." At the Grand Prix de France it followed her winning short, and the Lutz let her down.

She doubled both triple Lutz attempts, then fell trying to force a triple flip-triple toe to win the points back. "I felt I was leaning slightly to the left on both attempts," she told Golden Skate. Her spins and footwork still drew high GOE.

The free scored 124.31, fifth, and she slid from first to fourth overall at 200.62. Fans on r/FigureSkating were gutted for her, though several said the presentation and step sequence held up through the mistakes.
