Her only weakness is the non-elegant posture and lack of lines. It is not as bad as some other skaters that routinely get high presentation marks with poor posture (Lambiel, Goebel when he was landing the quads, Stojko, S&P, the chinese pairs, are some of them). IMO that's the only area where she may be overmarked. I find her musical interpretation and choreography to be fine. She chooses music that suits her personality and skating. She does not try to become a ballerina. For the music she selects her interpretation and choreography are fine. The choreo is tailored to fit the COP. Irina is a wonderful artist on ice. We cannot limit our definition of artistry to only elegant skating. That is like saying that if a painting is not done in the impressionistic style, it cannot be a great painting.
