That's Daleman's problem. Her jumps are actually too big. She loses control and ends up going down. I've been saying it for two seasons now, but someone needs to rein her in and slow her down a little bit.

Yeah, it's true... but how refreshing to have Canadian girls go into their jumps with confidence and attack, instead of the petrified deer we saw in the 90's. Joannie started it all.

Gabby doesn't need to slow down, IMO. Her speed is one of her biggest assets. Like Kostner, she just needs to reign in her power and work on getting the timing of her jumps to muscle memory and not rush them. But the speed going into them is excellent and something she needs to continue to do.

Midori Ito, Elaine Zayak, Jill Trenary, Tonya Harding, Surya Bonaly, Liz Manley, Irina Slutskaya, Mao Asada come to my mind as powerhouse figure skaters.
