Piel said:IIRC a couple of times I have heard the announcers say that SA had increased the difficulty of her spirals to a level three.
Dustin said:Throughout the Grand Prix, I am only seeing Shizuka's spiral sequence as a level 1, never a level 3. Sasha's is level 2.

Piel said:Thanks Joe. Do you know if Michelle's spiral is a level three like Shizukas's. If not, how is SA's better?
Yeah, it was only in GPF when SA added that COE spiral with two hands hold her free leg in Bielman position, but with a clear edge change, into her spiral sequence, that one was ranked as level three spiral.
Piel said:IMO the criteria leave the judges with way too much wriggle room to interpret as they will
