Correct. But it's not necessary bad thing.
"Lutz Maleficarum" - the glorious book of the witchhunt in FS.#TeamTutberidzeForProgress knew this was coming, it was foretold by experts on the diverse press interviews and blogs their skaters should give the panels no reason for any deductions. They were probably still unpleasantly surprised by the sudden magnification put on Anna's Lutz'es.
it is a bad thing if it is aimed only at the top Russian girls. If they are being targeted more than the competition and that's unfair and unethical.Correct. But it's not necessary bad thing.

I think Trusova has a pretty good edge on her lutz so I don't think the controller will mess her. The other Eteri girls though can sometimes go flat so maintaining a good edge is paramount because it looks like the tech controllers have gotten memo to scrutinized them ever since last week in France. We can expect more ! edges but hopefully no outrageous e calls like Zagitova received last week.
I checked Trusova in Canada FS 4Lz again. You are right. she is bit different and clearly out edge. but her pre-rotation seems bit more than Anna. I care more about this than edge. Perhaps clean Triple and Quad with a lot of pre-rotation shouldn't be huge difference in point. So if her lower GOE was due to pre-rotation not by the edge, and the judge stays consistent, I can understand. In addition I like Boyan's huge 4Lz but I don't like his long straight entry movement and the edge. He bends the ankle too much which is not beautiful. Mai Mihara is similar. There are many skaters who bend the ankle probably just for judgement which is non sense and ugly for me. So Anna should have GOE+ in this point.
I've found that there are two camps on this subject: one that believes that on a lutz jump, an outside edge is an outside edge regardless of how shallow or deep, and is still worthy of positive GOE, and the other which believes that a deep outside edge is a key criterion for a proper lutz, and the depth of the edge should be factored into GOE.Can someone enlighten me about the fuss that is made over edges? I am not a skater but a lover of the sport and an avid viewer. Is a shallow edge easier than a deeper edge and is that the problem?
I feel Anna's quads, especially the recent ones are so elegant. it is nice to see elegant jumps.
If deeper edge gives you more forth to jump higher or rotate faster, that's fine and GOE should be given to the height and rotation. Deeper edge should have better GOE because it's more difficult is non sense to me.
I don't think rules say much (if any) about deep edge, Lz is just identified as a jump which is taken-off from backward outside edge and F a vice versa as a jump taken-off from backward inside edge. Bullets for positive GOE are well known and there is nothing about deep edges, unless it is interpreted as a part of "good take-off". But I think that no matter how deep outside/inside edge is there it is outside/inside edge (small fish, still a fish). It is also difficult to interpret how judges apply this, because negative and positive aspects of the jumps are applied at once.
Okay the Bear arrived in Moscow I can sleep calmly now.
I was worried they had to leave it in China because of the size.
