I think that
her 3Lz in SP should get +3 GOE:
+1
"very good height and very good length"
+1
"effortless throughout"
+1
"very good body position from take-off to landing"
she definitely doesn't have "steps before the jump, unexpected or creative entry" and
"element matches the music" (and btw, Kostornaya on her 3Lz has this bullet)
You can say - what about bullet
"good take-off and landing"?
I will not say that she has a bad landing, but:
a) it's kind off little strange for me - she turns too sharply, I feel that she little bit "skidded", this is a phenomenon of the same nature as landing into rotation, but she, of course, controls it here. So, I myself don't consider that this a "bad" landing (but some judges apparently consider so and reduced the GOE), but and it's not "good" - it's just no bullet for me.
b) I'm pretty sure, that in case of large GOE judges start consider that landing is "good" only if skater has good one-footwork after landing (like
this) or
another cool difficult stuff as
objective marker of really good landing (cuz, it just cannot be done without a good landing). Yes, this is not written directly, but this bullets, i quote, is "General recommendations", and judges, as a rule, do just that, and it’s right as for me (otherwise every mediocre skater will get high GOE)
So, for me she must have +3 GOE, it's +1.77 score, the judges gave her +1.57 score on 3Lz - I don't think that 0.2 score it's reason to do such a show in K&C.
----------
There is one important nuance. She had a
huge UR on 3T - between < and <<. I don’t know why tech.panel didn't call it (may be they just scared?
), but you can see it with your own eyes - it is undeniable, at least it's definitely over 90. In this case - with such a huge scrolling blade on ice, the skaters know inside themselves, that was UR. And they understand why their score is lower. Yes, UR wasn’t called (the wrong edge on 3F was called), but Liza didn’t know about it! And still she showed an open, demonstrative, disrespect for the judges, showing her thumb sarcastically. Many people did not like this, including me. It was unsportsmanlike behavior in itself and especially with this huge UR.
Liza is a really good skater, huge caliber athlete, she needs to stop looking for a solution to problems outside (bad judges! I will appeal to public opinion! I will post on instagram protocols with bad grades circled in red circles!) and take up painstaking, hard work. Only in this way can and should win. I really want to believe that she will do so - sport is above all. Peace to all!
