No. She is not slow comparing to ladies her age. Her spin is not top notch and mostly level 3 and that's a fact. But her speed is not slow if you watch her winning programs before.I'm not a fan, but let me write one thing: most of Liza's fans talk about jumps 24/7 - I'd say she is natural jumper, it's all about training, controling weight and gaining confidence.
My concern is rather her speed on ice, she looks slow to me in almost every element she does.
Would you agree or am I seeing things?
I just wish she'd fought back a bit more after the first mistake.
In the interview after that she said the win was very important to her mentality. And her back still hurts.Thanks for the videos, everyone. I really loved the SP (I hope she puts the 'tano back into the axel though!). Such a shame about the LP... Those doubles are going to cost her, especially in the current system. I hope it's just a temporary lapse of concentration/nerves, instead of her back bothering her again. I mean, after landing two beautiful lutzes...
Well, I guess I'd much rather she watered down to doubles (since she was winning anyway) rather than risking her back. So... it's back to waiting, to see how she does at bigger events. The test skate might've made me a little too excited/confident.
Do you know how much she is injured? How do you know she won't heal?
What kind of injury that won't heal completely? I am confused.
I am afraid all skaters have that injury as well. I have seen them falling so many times. What do we define a "fall in the wrong way"? So many fall I can't tell which fall is right or wrong?
Her jumps actually do not look bad to me at all, she had a nice SP and skated quite well at the Open Test Skates, she just popped a couple of jumps too many here, I would not say she's in bad shape at all! Her programs are nice, all she needs is to regain her 3Lz+3T
