Why are you comparing these girls to Mao and Kim? They were once in a lifetime skaters. Ando's quad was always shaky and she finally stopped even trying to do it and quite frankly besides her jumps she didn't have much more to offer at their age.
Ando was very exciting because for that whole period, she regularly went for the 4sal. always a "will she or won't she?"
and huge jumps, 3x3s.
Young girls don't have much to offer in term of programs, so they have big jumps. mao, yuna didn't really have nice programs anyway.
you think what julia has to offer (leg lifts) are better than what ando didn't offer? in this case, less is more.
