Popping one jump throughout 2 programs and landing several jumps that have troubled her in the past can lead one to conclude she is back in a big way or at least confident and on the right track.
Really? We must be looking at two different protocols. Her FS protocol sheet is being marked and noted by the Technical Panel all over the place.
1) First jump, planned 2A as the first jump of a program for Mao? Hard to believe. Otherwise, that's a pop as well.
2) 3Lz, continued to get an edge call on it, the problem is still not fixed
3) UR the 3F, which she almost never did in the past, that's definitely a step backward
4) Error on the 3Lo, negative GOE overall
5) Her entire FS has a total of merely 3 clean Triple jumps, all other Triples are either <, e, or had execution error
The only progress we can claim is that the 3S is now attempted and landed. Everything else, absent 3A (if so, should put the 2A elsewhere, not the 1st element), 3Lz - no improvement, 3F getting <, 3Lo error. Seriously, the leap of faith here is borderline fanatic, this is just sad, scoring 120+ notwithstanding.
