These people want jumps, jumps, jumps, jumps, juuuuuuuuuuumps!!!!
And the way they speak of Satoko's jumps you'd think their favorites(whom they defend so fiercely and turn to the other side when they are being overscored) would be the epitome of perfect jumps with textbook technique, beautiful transitions in and out, great height and distance, no edge problems, no flutz, no lip, no strange axel technique, no suspicious toe pick, no extreme upper body effort into jump, no pre-rotation whatsoever, just clean and marvellous perfect jumps!
Also, some people seem to still be stuck into the old GOE scale. It's not that difficult to get +3s across the board.
Some people argue that Satoko has poor take-off and landing because of her extreme pre-rotation. I would totally agree
IF pre-rotation was a thing in the eyes of ISU. ISU does not care the tiniest bit about pre-rotation, that term does not exist in their vocabulary it seems.
So why punish Satoko for it if no one else is being punished??? Because if you're going to punish Satoko for pre-rotating I can make an extensive list of other skaters who pre-rotates their jumps way too much.
The URs, which is a thing that ISU recognizes(thank god) should indeed be punished but Satoko has never landed her jumps cleaner than now, most of her jumps look rotated, when not, I'm all for her jumps being called, of course. And she may lose bullet 2 just by having a shaky landing or something, in that case of course I wouldn't give that bullet.
Anyway, even if you don't give her bullet 2, bullets 3 and 5 can still be a given. I think her jumps do look effortless and she does have good body position from take-off to landing. The swinging leg on the toe jumps is a bit strange, yes, but I think it's ok, it doesn't bother me much. Still, even if you take away bullet 5, there are still bullets 6 and 4 which she would get in some of her jumps(Satoko has some of the very best transitions this season and her entire programs are musical, she usually does not miss a beat, neither in the SP or FS).
So, I think there are 5 possible bullets to be awarded to Satoko's jumps imo, according to how I interpret the rules(of course people might interpret differently). Deductions might apply(to her flat edge on the Lutz for instance) but overall I'm not surprised by +3s on her jumps and I don't think it's an absurd. Now, higher than that you'd have to be halucinating!!
What do you guys think? How would you score Satoko's jumps from NHK?
Here are the bullets:
1) very good height and very good length (of all jumps in a combo or sequence)
2) good take-off and landing
3) effortless throughout (including rhythm in Jump combination)
4) steps before the jump, unexpected or creative entry
5) very good body position from take-off to landing
6) element matches the music
My scores of the FS:
3S:
+2 (bullets 3 and 5)
3Lz!3T:
+1 (bullets 3, 5 and 6 -2 for unclear edge)
3Lo:
+3 ( bullets 2, 3, 4, 5)
3Lz! :
+1 (bullets 3, 5 and 6 -2 for unclear edge)
2A<+3T:
0 (3, 5 and 6 -3 for UR)
3F+2T+2Lo< :
+1 (bullets 3, 4, 5 and 6 -3 for UR)
2A:
+3 (bullets 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6)
PS.: sorry for the very long post.
now Satoko should retire and should be nowhere near the top 5 at Worlds
