Imo, in the case of Liang, she has consistently fallen on what I believe was a triple flip half way in her routines. It doesn't take rocket science to scream out 'get the flip' out of there. It could be put in another part of the program. I reiterate, Skater, Choreographer, Coach should work as a team. It doesn't mean a skater will win a comp, but it will give the skater his/her best.What could Bebe Liang do to beat Rachael Flatt?
What could Candice Didier do to beat Bebe Liang?
etc...
The point is that there's not always a way. Some of it is just based on ability and training. Certainly they could all take a hard look at why the asians and other top scorers get the scores they do, and work towards that. But I think it's unfair to even compare them. You have to be realistic... Rachael Flatt is not Yun-a Kim nor is she Mao Asada, and realistically probably won't ever be.
I would like to see Caroline come out of the Michelle/Sasha shadow and find herself. Who is Caroline? That's what I want to see.
Maybe the USFSA should pay the tech specialists and tech controller so they can downgrade Yuna, Mao, Miki and Rochette's jumps. That might be the only way to win at the Olympics.
Can you explain the positive aspect of this post?
I want to see some suggestions for my girl Ashley. She could be stronger than either Caroline or Rachael if... if what? How can she get consistent?
Ashley like Alissa needs to find some confidence.
