+2 points total in GOE is really unfortunate. I'm bummed she didnt manage to get any GP medals, with a wide open field here. She's got a lot of work to do.

She did say she got nervous during the skate during her interview...

I think this is a learning year for Alyssa.
She gains experience and learns where she needs to improve and knowing her, she will get to work.
And the way she carried the trophy off the scene…

I also recall Kaori saying that she didn't have a lot of practice time after coming back from America (due to quarantine, I presume). She also made some mistakes in America, such as on her spins, and was glad to correct those at NHK.
I think they are pushing Liu because its an Olympic year, but she clearly isn't ready. Matsuike had a bad ankle and was clearly nervous skating at home, but was much more polished in her basic skating than Liu. Allysa seems rushed and overcoached right now.
Wakaba in Austria. Lol.

#KaoriSakamoto #NHKTrophy SB (146.78/223.34) "My first and last jump I was angled in the air, but at least I put in good short and long programs. About one month ago, it would have been hard to imagine today's results. It took me two years to really get the Matrix to get to where I liked."

They are small and don't carry good running edge in and out. What Alysa does do very well though is her leveled elements.... She does a good job of getting level 4 step sequences and spins....Why does Alysa get terrible GOEs
Her jumps look decent to me, no wobbly landings. It's like they don't want to give her a fraction of GOE
Someone explain what is offensive about them that I'm not seeing????

I enjoyed Mana the most. She doesn't have polish and she needs to get her levels but I enjoy her program , flow across the ice, and lack of fear.
Kaori has never been my favorite but she is a great technical skater. The best program she ever had was No Roots from Shae-Lynn. She should get a new LP and ditch Benoit who is really just giving terrible programs to skaters this year.

#ManaKawabe #NHKTrophy "The morning of my SP I wasn't doing that well, but because I was able to succeed, I really wanted to succeed in the FS as well. I think beyond this big stage and being able to put on a good performance has given me confidence."

That doesn't fully explain it though because You Young got even more URs ( which she fully deserved) and yet she got higher GOE on other jumps. Jump height and running edge make a huge impact on how your jumps are perceived by the panel.

Its not just about perception, height and flow are actual GOE bullets.
