Kristina Oblasova had some mistakes as for example a singled axel (later she repeated the axeldouble), on her first lutz she put the hand down, the flip was on two feet and the salchow was only double.
Sasha Cohen did a doubleaxel, fell on her triple (f)lutz, executed a triple flip and a triple toe, on her second axel she was maybe down with her hand.
She doubled the toe, the twist didn't look good in the landing, on the thrown salchow she put down a hand, their thrown toe was singled and they nearly fell out of a lift.
