She then completed a quadruple Lutz, a “much better” triple axel, a triple Lutz, and “two excellent combinations—triple Lutz-triple toeloop and triple Lutz-Euler-triple Salchow”. She ended her program with a triple flip, and earned three level-4 spins. She earned a season’s best score of 138.99 in the free skate and 203.10 overall.
