I want to bring up her GPF SP as an example. She pre-rotates more than others (some pre-r is inevitable) and its visible. Compare her lutz with this one. Her 3T and 3F landings were at least borderline ur with the 2A landing being clean and 3Lz being hooked. Now I know skaters get the benefit of the doubt sometimes BUT if you have a visible pre-rotation that shold add up to the borderline ur's so those ur's should be called more harshly. Basically, she rotates less degrees in the air than other skaters.
I'd give her 3Lz-3T< and 3F<. She should have AT LEAST one ur on either of the jumps even with the most generous caller.
Also: Communication 1944: poor take-off -1 to -2 GOE.
edit: it really helps to use .25 speed in youtube settings and pause/play clicking to see the point of contact with the ice.
She used to have underrotation calls all over her protocols in the past seasons. The number of underrotation calls has slowly decreased over time. Is it because the judges suddenly decided that she should be given the benefit of doubt or is it simply because she has improved and while she doesn't have elevation she has possibly the fastest rotation speed among the ladies?
If she should have gotten negative GOEs for her jumps then Tuktamysheva too should have gotten lower SS, CH, TR marks than Miyahara. She was leading over Miyahara by 4 points in PCS only at the 2015 Worlds. So why pick on Miyahara's average GOEs when she has constantly received lower PCS than pretty much everyone else?
