At the end of her first year in seniors, Emily placed third at nationals, 7th at the Olympics, and 8th at Worlds. She placed 7th at the Olympics after going through a lot of uncertainty. She has demonstrated really good basic jumping technique, but has had a few falls. Her falls were mainly on the triple loop.
Now, if you had speculated that she has trouble with her loop technique, that would be something reasonable and based on fact.
I would love it if someone with more knowledge could tell if there is a flaw in the way she is jumping the loop. That would be interesting. However, taking this season and trying to determine if Emily's doomed to failure is going into fantasy, not speculation. Give the girl a chance.
As a gesture of good will, I will shut up now.
