Level Ones on spins, step sequences, (and what used to be spiral sequences)
I've noticed a few times, and it seems to have happened a lot in today's ladies' SP in the JGP Brasov.
I notice that quite a few skaters have received level 1 spins (and one skater, Fujisawa, received level 1 step sequence), and one skater, Kim received no credit on her flying sit spin despite the fact that from videos, all these spins looked fine. What can go wrong that causes a spin/step sequence to suddenly drop to level one? I know that spiral sequence used to go down to level one if you didn't hold the positions long enough, but I don't understand how the spins can drop (for example, Nishino and Fujisawa's flying sits look almost identical but Nishino got a level one while Fujisawa received level four).
Do anyone know?
