If I were a judge I would have given more points to Mao because she landed two clean triple axles. For the ladies this is what gets you the most points (lol I think I hear him saying "it's like the Superbowl"). Mao did it for the first time ever on this planet (lol so dramatic), she did two. The judges did not give her enough extra points for accomplishing that. It's all about the extra points. For a jump with such great difficulty they have to give more extra points.
