I recall some t.v commentors saying that skaters with great flexibility (baby ballerina types) tend to have weaker hip and it cause them problem with jumps.
Such as not holding long enough edge, shaky landing, underrotation, less heigh, etc.
Thou it's not scientifically proven, just looke at skater like Cohen. She was great with spins and spirals, but all her jumps are best look with one eye close.
Cohen did not start off as a ballerina, she was an artistic gymnast. That's why she was more powerful in her earlier years than skaters like Caroline, Alissa, Mirai etc.
