Reports and practice videos are modified to showcase the skater. If out of 15 attempts a skater lands a quad or 3A once they will air the clean attempt and people will believe that they're landing elements consistently. It's what happens in competition that counts and as mentioned she has not the best success rate.
In many practice reports from recent competitions, they will explicitly state the number of attempts and the success rate. It's not as if short video footage from news sources is the only evidence.

Yeah, and she went for a 3A in every 6 min LP warm-up until now - and landed all of them (3 out of 3). That's already pretty impressive and speaks rather for a good practice success rate.
