 Heading into the long program, which was worth 50% of the total score, Thomas was in first place (she placed second in compulsory figures and second in the short program) and Witt was in second place (she placed third in compulsory figures and first in the short program).However, both Thomas and Witt had underwhelming free skates.Despite not doing one of the more challenging jumps in her technically inferior program, Witt skated well enough for the gold, but Thomas made significant mistakes in three of her planned jumps and placed 3rd overall in the competition.
