I know the jumps aren't everything in a long program but I am seriously baffled when I look at the jumps performed by Mao, Akiko, and Mirai.
Akiko - 7 triples
Mirai- 6 triples
Mao- 3 triples
How can a 3 triple program win a Senior Grand Prix Event? I will admit I am no expert in COP, I grew up with 6.0 judging. I am glad that Cop focuses on aspects such as transitions, spins, footwork ect. But I feel it does not place proper emphasis on jumps. Maybe it's me but I enjoy programs that can deliver technically and artistically example 96 worlds Kwan/Chen. Am I crazy or does anyone else feel this way?
