How did Adelina fail in delivering Complexity? I have delineated a scenario when she would have performed turns and steps in BOTH directions. Sorry, I don't buy BoP's SINGULAR interpretation that in fact discourages Variety. That is his/hers alone, and NO ONE else out there has raised this issue, not even those who have criticized her performance.
Besides, unless I have sat there and played in slow motion and counted every step and turn, I will not readily accept a third person's account when hundreds, if not thousands (most of them in the figure skating profession and including journalists and specialists) have scrutinized the same performances and HAVE NOT raised this issue in any manner.
Yes, why don't you call or file BoP's opinion to the ISU about Adelina's Step Sequence? I'm curious how they would reply to this!
I think I need some help from actual skaters before I state this as fact, but isn't it easier to do some turns/steps in some directions than others based upon a skater's right/left dominance? If so, complexity would be greater if a skater could execute all the required turn/footwork elements in both directions. This would explain the variety versus complexity argument and why Level 4 should be so hard to achieve.
