I don't think so. The jumps looked suspicious to me, but I have to re-watch and check them.
I just meant the lack of step sequence 4, not the overall judging
I remember last year with Kostornaia and I was watching her closely. She had her 3A < twice, and I think there was one competition (was it Euros?) that I thought she should have been called as well. But Euros are known for being lenient with tech.
Well, to be honest, I really can't judge StepSequences, that's beyond my expertize...LOLI just meant the lack of step sequence 4, not the overall judging
Such a weird choice considering it is choreographed by Shae-Lynn Bourne. Maybe they chose this generic kind of program, because it's easier to choreograph through video calls. She skates lovely, perfect posture and everything, therefore it kind of works, but she could skate to something more memorable. But to be fair, I also didn't like her SP last season.
Sometimes I wish they would just get zero points for a fall on an element. Quality before quantity.
I think she got some level 3s (at Euros for example) but this happens easily if you miss a turn or so. It's not an issue usually. The problem with her step sequence in the FS here, however, is that it doesn't even look like it's choreographed to be level 4. She spends way too much time skating on two feet and there's not enough difficulty.SameBut i´m pretty sure Aliona got level 4 every single time last season
The jumps looked suspicious because they were. That's not the point. The point is, do you think that with the exact same performance, she would have gotten the exact same calls if she was still an Eteri skater? Because I sincerely doubt that. As well as her PCS not even being two points above Liza's. I'm not debating whether this is right, I'm debating, whether the judges would have allowed that to happen, had she stayed with her old coaching team.
I think the problem with Kostornaya at this point of time may be lack of stamina as a product of not enough training process. Majority of her usual points were lost in the second half of the programme. That is far more reasonable explanation than to think that Eteri has something with the judging (or maybe her training methods have actually, but to be fair we all know Alona had injury problems this season and started to train later in the season)
I agree that is what Aliona’s problem is right now (she hasn’t competed often and the free skate could use some work). What I meant was on paper, the mistakes she made most likely would have been less severe had she had a different coach. But we can all have our different opinions.I think the problem with Kostornaya at this point of time may be lack of stamina as a product of not enough training process.

I got the feeling that they wanted to tell the message know one is safe! .... except maybe for PCsWhat is the most interesting in protocols for me is the fact that with exception of Liza, only Eva Lotta Kiibus hasn't been called for any under rotation or a jump on quarter. Knowing that the tech pannel was all Russian, with the job of judging majority of their own 'best' skaters at this point of time, i would say - good job judges
And that's good (because that's the reality of ladies figure skating in Russia these days)... I was talking about good judging of Tech panel only
Same here... But even to me it's clear that her stsq is very empty and mostly two foot skating.
