"Dress for the job you want." I think that's true in any field.
Well based on that, Mira can't want the top spot very much.
We saw her at Canadians last year, and there were holes in those tights, as there seem to be for every competition. Even the youngest skater in our club knows that you don't come to a competition with big holes in your tights.
How much does a new pair of tights cost? If you really can't afford new ones, then just learn to sew and fix those holes so they don't show.
And no, fixing those holey tights is not going to fix her technical issues, but this kind of sloppiness just shows a total lack of respect, for herself, for the competition, for the judges, for the fans....and I can not take her seriously (or feel sorry for her) until she fixes this part of her performance.
