Question: Did Sasha "need" to break the flow of her Arasbesque or did she do it because the COP requires her to do three spiral positions? (At least I thought it required it.)
Also, just watched the Mao SP from SA from 2006 and it IS hard to understand how Rochette's deserves a better score. I mean maybe Mao flutzed but apart from that... Even so, I think it's a good point whoever said that it's not THAT big of a deal that Rochette got 70. it's not the Olympics and it's not like they handed her a world record.
It was 2004 worlds, under 6.0. COP-programs weren't universally adopted yet. She did an Arabesque into a Hydrant into a charlotte. Breaking the flow doesn't give her an extra position. My point was that there was a break in the flow of her Arabesque almost as if she needed the break to give herself a push and continue the rest of it. That's why I posted videos of Michelle and Shizuka (granted it was a stretch spiral) who held out their COE without a break.
As for the bolded part, I said that. I'm finished here because the truth is that we all want to be factually correct and it seems that neither of us will yield since we want to be "right". I will take this scuffle on the internet with stride and waltz on over to the Men's SP forum.
