tbh it is hard to take 2 gifs and say that there is an improvement\degradation. Flip picks look pretty similar, but she doesn't telegraph toe loop and the combination looks much better. Definitely cannot compare 2A with tano and without. She still does strange checking moves before jumping. I think it would be great for Orser to remove these moves.This perfectly illustrates how different her jumps are now. Shall we go through them?
3F-3T: She uses the exact same entry and exit then and now. At the Olympics, there was very obvious prerotation and full blade assist. At Worlds, it looks like there may still be a bit of prerotation, but it looks much better. The landing of the 3F was better at the Olympics, and the height of the 3T was better, too. She picks much sooner at Worlds for the 3T than she does at the Olys. I'd say there is better technique now, but the outcome of the jump does not look better here.
2A: With these gifs, I cannot tell if this is the same entry or slightly different and I don't feel like going and watching right now. The exit is slightly different though. The one at the Olys looks fine, but it's a much different jump. At Worlds, she goes into the 2A with a really deep edge and is clearly using her legs and arms (lack of tano!) more. It looks more powerful, though, this has still been hit or miss for her in competition this season. The exit at Worlds is reallt beautiful. Her running edge out of it, the aesthetically pleasing arm variations out of it, staying on one foot for longer.
3Lo: Once again, entry is the same and exit is similar too. There's really no difference in her 3Lo, both in the SP & FP she uses entries and exits that she's used for many seasons now. I really like both versions of it, I like how at the Olys she went from entry-3Loop-exit into choreo. And I like how at Worlds she went from entry-3Loop-longer running edge.
I could keep going, but I think I've demonstrated how different her jumps are now. Not all of them are up to par, but it's clear that she's working torwards making them more technically sound, and it's not all worked out yet, but the attempts are being made
it's unpredictable, but she has never been among the favorites, so any significant success will make a splash; she is very artistic, but not stable enough in jumps, so at last RusNats she blundered with excitement
she just few days older than Kihira so can compete both as junior and senior
Try either the Team Eteri Fan Fest
It's Krasnoyarsk. 4000 km from Krasnodar.
What do you mean by that?
