How is it fair to skaters who perform well while fully rotating their jumps, if skaters like Murakami are given medals despite not meeting technical standards? Figure skating is a SPORT, not an exhibition.
Underrotation is not Murakami's only problem. She has a horrible pick technique (similar to Caroline Zhang's), she has a pretty bad flutz, and she has problems with her double axel (she singled both attempts in her Worlds FS and the one attempt in her 4CC FS). Interesting in that the 2a is a required jump in the Ladies FS.
