Biellmann spins done badly :noshake:. Like this one (sorry Liza): https://youtu.be/CQyXTcjy3zg?t=86
I have always hated the Bielmann - even when Bielmann was doing it. I think it's an ugly and awkward position. And I'm fast starting to dislike the arms over the head on EVERY jump in the program.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, isn't that practically all there is to her ChSq this season? Along with a couple spread eagles?
But Daisuke Takahashi's Metal Swan Lake!* Remixed warhorses. Normal Carmen is bad. Techno Carmen is even worse
:/ Not even done to the music.That's all her ChSq has been in every program, this short spiral, a short spread eagle, and one random step or turn. Yet the judges continually give the element +2 or even +3 GOE.
only Mirai and Satoko are doing good ones now);
tano, where the arm is broken and looks extremely awkward, so the jump looks bit like a helicopter flying.

And Karen Chen!
'Why why' hands.
My #1 pet peeve is definitely bad layback positions. Prime example being Yuna's layback; it was fine at the start of her career, but come Sochi I physically cringed even thinking about it. Never understood why that was (is?) a required element. Also not a fan of laybacks with the free leg close to the spinning leg. Yulia used to do that one which I thought was a pity as she was flexible enough to hold it higher.
Another big one is when skaters don't finish their movements. Zagitova tends to do this which is a shame because especially her fs could be great if she wouldn't rush things as much. She's improved but I still don't think she should be getting the pcs that she gets, though that's another topic entirely.
hahaha that's a big no for me too! I always cringe when I see them (I'm looking at you two, Karen Chen and Marin Honda - you can do so much better)
