And then Talalaikina might win Italian Nationals and get sent to Olympics...So, Lara has four points deficit to the first six skaters. Not an easy task now. I want Italyt in the team competition so I want her to qualify.
Alysa's flip edge looked clean to me. I can't remember the last time she got called on a flip.They downgraded Kurakova's 3T in a combo as i was afraid. Both Talljegard triples were under. They didn't call Alisa's 3Lz with ! as i did, but her 3F (and her 3T was obviously on q). Paganini was the only one clean on jumps, she just missed a level on her steps.
It really depends on a tech panel view. When both flip and lutz look as the same jump as it was in this case, it is not that big of a difference which one you will call. lt was not a wrong edge after all, but unclear.Alysa's flip edge looked clean to me.

I guess the whole picture. As the tutorial for judging system is saying, the whole picture is more important than sum of those writing parts. Majority of judges just didn't think it deserves the highest mark.I don't understand why Alysa doesn't get all +5 GOE on her layback. She would need 5 of the following including the first 3:
1) good speed and/or acceleration during spin
2) good controlled, clear position(s) (inc. height and air/landing position in flying
spin)
3) effortless throughout
4) maintaining a centered spin
5) creativity and/or originality
6) element matches the music
What am I missing?
But 4 did. One judge only gave her +2!I guess the whole picture. As the tutorial for judging system is saying, the whole picture is more important than sum of those writing parts. Majority of judges just didn't think it deserves +5.
Well that judge was obviously wrong. Between 3 and 5 is fair i guess, so the only one judge who gave her 4 was the 'right' one in the end It depends also how the judges judged that exact spin on other skaters during that exact competition. If i was giving max +2 for LSp to the other skaters, then +4 for Alissa's would be more than fair. As you can see, comparing to the other skaters, her layback was definitely judged as the best one.But 4 did. One judge only gave her +2!
Alysa did not have a long edge into Lutz, but it definitely looked outside to me.It really depends on a tech panel view. When both flip and lutz look as the same jump as it was in this case, it is not that big of a difference which one you will call. They gave her on the first jump (which was a lutz) a benefit of a doubt, and then when they saw a second one (flip) they needed to call it. lt was not a wrong edge after all, but unclear.
Well, for me personally at the moment i was watching it was unclear, but i also gave unclear Lz edge to Safonova for example, and hers was also judged clear, so... My point is - as a judge if I call as unclear all the edges i see that way (which is the way i personally saw them) or not call any of them, in the very end the ranking between the skaters in this exact competition would be the sameAlysa did not have a long edge into Lutz, but it definitely looked outside to me.
