Why? They both landed the same number of triples, and the 3T was the only clean triple Slutskaya landed.
Irina and Sasha. They each landed four triple jumps.Irina and Arakawa or Cohen?
The judges agreed. Sasha did not receive any positive GOEs for any of her jumps except a 0.57 for her final triple Salchow.Slutskayafa said:Cohen's jumps are baby jumps, none of them should receive any +GOE
Irina and Sasha. They each landed four triple jumps.
But Sasha beat Irina in all other phases of scoring. In spins and step sequences, Sasha got 21.55 points to Irina's 19.30, while in program component scores it was 62.41 to 61.87 in favor of Sasha.
We just have to get used to the idea that in the New Judging System you get points for everything you do, and these points can add up even if you fall on other elements.

Oh, yes, so she did. I guess I wasn't giving her full credit (as the NJS does not) for both jumps in her 3T/3S sequence.I thought Cohen landed five jumps. Didn't she attempt seven and fail on two attempts?
She also approaches and lands them with perfect posture and often nice run-out, and she has terrific rhythm in the air.Cohen's jumps are baby jumps, none of them should receive any +GOE.

Slutskaya's have power and height, but her posture is poor and she often lands them on a stop or a tilt.
It's a trade-off.
and do you think that's why Cohen may have trouble on the jumps?
In discussion of the SP: Didn't Sasha 2 foot one of the jumps? So, not exactly a "clean skate?" If so, I can't understand putting someone that makes an obvious error in the SP (technical portion) the edge over a clean skate.
I would've preferred to see Fumie ahead of both Sasha and Irina for the silver. Sasha and Irina were a mess and didn't deserve what they got.
Slutskaya had a flutz which she pretty much corrected to at worst a flatz, while Cohen's flutz is awful. Cohen takes off properly for all other jumps. However, Slutskaya rarely has any flowout at the end of her combinations, and I've seen her (live) stop dead at the end of many of her combos, particularly the 3Lz/2T and 3Lz/2Lo. If you watch her posture and form in her turning 3's into 3Lo, she's bent at the waist in her entry and her foot position is open and rather sloppy; the trade-off is that she lofts them (usually). Compare that to Kostner, who doesn't have the same height in the turning 3's into 3Lo, but who has exemplary posture and tight free leg position in the entry.I dont find that at all. Cohen flutzes, she leans in the air, and only on some of her jumps does she have nice run out, alot she lands stiff and with no flow too. The only jumps Irina lands with no flow on a good day is her triple lutz, the rest have good flow out, and her form in the air and rythym is better then Cohen's as well, and she actualy takes off with proper edges unlike Cohen.
Intersting, to put it that way. Also five for Suguri and Meissner.As far as jump counts, it was 6 for Rochette, 5 for Arakawa, 4+ for Cohen, due to the .8 factor for performing two in sequence, and 4 for Slutskaya.
3F, 3Lz+2T, 3Lo, 3S, 2lz, 3T+2T+2Lo, 2A+3S (sequence).That's more like it. But I'm surprised to see Rochette up so high. I forgot her jump content and how she did overall at the games...
