I would have given Irina a tenth higher technical mark here. With the high jumping and the footwork all on one foot - presentation I don't really see a 5.9 here. 5.7 - 5.8. Like the commentators said, it wasn't as enjoyable to watch as Sasha's...but I think a lot of that is because her facial expression was limited to "I'm working very hard".
