In the Black Swan Pas de Deux, Odile lifts her leg to the side and the best of the ballerinas get it up close to the ear. Let's go of the Prince and holds it in that position until the audience finishes their ooohs and ahhhs, and then turns it into an arabesque (spiral)
Just about impossible on skates but Shizuka, although lifting her leg up to the Y position right up to her ear during the spiral sequence, let go of the leg and for moments held her foot in that 'Y to the ear' position before turning it into a spiral.
If she didn't get a GoE +3 for that execution, the judges are, imo, inept on flexibility, and difficulty.
