It's possible that this jump is just not ready yet.Not sure this is an issue she needs a sports psychologist for... If it was purely nerves, I'd expect her to make mistakes on the other jumps too, I think this is something else.
Maybe just tell Plushenko to stay home next time, he's not helping.
3A is a risk for everyone. Easy to do when you are relaxed, but in competition when you tense up the timing often doesn't go, and you need split second timing for it to work.
Forrr your main eee vent of the evening...
She let Tuktamysheva beat her all of last year with more or less the same technical content.
Its 100% ready. It looks as easy as 2A for her when theres no pressure.
All skaters I can think of had more general issues with nerves - Amber Glenn & Sasha Trusova struggled with the 3A for many years, but they struggled with going clean in general as well.
Upd: she also zayaked.
Lol you dont know what you're talking about.
Yeah, I noticed. She did two 3-3 combos and two 3As, she wasn't supposed to do that.
Not in this warm-up though. Yes, she landed the 2/3? attempts she had in the warm-up, but not easily. Kind of off-balance, inside edgey-landings, though not as bad as the two attempts in the program.
She used to hit it all the time. Something new is up with her.
they were fully rotated, she just seemed to land somewhat backwards
