According to someone who saw the Senior Ladies FS detailed protocol at Grand Rapids Open, Alissa Czisny's jumps reportedly were called as follows: 3Lz+2T, 3F, 3Lo<, 2A, 3Lz+2T, 3T+3T<, 2A. She scored 96.24 for her FS and 51.82 for her SP.
Thanks for her music ID, mskater93!
For those who are interested, Alissa Czisny skated at Grand Rapids Open this weekend. She scored ~ 96 for her FS and ~ 51 for her SP. Spirals were AWESOME and her long is Dr. Zhivago.

Poor Alyssa. She really is branded. Whether she jumps correctly or not, it will be recorded as underrotation.

I agree that underrotation is Alissa Czisny's biggest problem, and if she is "branded" for it, it's because she is so often guilty of it. Face it: jumps have never been her strength, and as she is now 21, time is running out for her to improve them.
She is a lovely skater in all other respects, but without the jumps, she is not going to excel nationally, against the current crop of US skaters, or internationally. If she doesn't shine in her one GP event this season, the chances of her getting a second assignment (due to a withdrawal) aren't good.
I really hope not, but she might fall into that category as one of US most talented skaters that just never achieve the results that they should have.
Her and Nikodinov share the same stories in many ways (though to Nikodinov credit, she was a great jump technician and achieve many good results, but was never her best)
