I didn't mention such thing, that was karne. I feel like I'm wasting time every time I write this because people keep calling her a cheater anyway but
1.) Miyahara's dominant direction is clockwise and that is how she started jumping in the United States. When she moved back to Japan nobody was jumping clockwise because the rinks there are crowded so she was forced to start learning how to jump against her dominant direction, counterclockwise. As in, the direction she jumps in today. To put it shortly, she had to learn how to jump from scratch. This is no easy thing to do.
2.) Because she was busy trying to learn how to jump against her dominant direction, her leg muscles were not helping her. She had (and still has) very little power in her leg muscles and she has a special trainer who is helping her fix that.
3.) She trains twice as much as Marin Honda specifically because she wants to fix her technique as much as she can, as fast as she can. This has been said by Marin Honda and Mie Hamada herself, time and time again.
4.) Like I said before, people are free to criticize her technique all they want but not by saying she is cheating deliberately and she's not working to fix anything.
I konw she had changed her jump direction. I know she practices long time: 36 hours a week, right? I also know she was weak on her leg muscles.
So what?
