None of Zagitova’s jumps are super beautiful or excellent to get +2 across the board, let alone +3. What I am trying to say is, her jump quality is ok but not so good to get all the GOE she is getting. They’re average in quality, with transitions in and out they’re still average, in the second half of the programs make it harder ok but she already got 10% bonus. Why even bonus in the GOE, that’s double the bonus.
GOE are not supposed to be generous on a skater just because they jump more difficult jumps in the second half. GOE are supposed to be about the quality regardless of the placement of the elements.
Well, her jumps check the bulletpoints for high goe...
- Unexpected / creative / difficult entry: this is true for most if not all of her jumps
- Clear recognizable steps/free skating movements immediately preceding element: again, applies to most of her jumps
- Varied position in the air / delay in rotation: whenever she does a tano or rippon
- Great height and/or distance: lets take your word and say this does not apply since her jumps are not excellent
- Superior extension on landing / creative exit: creative exit, she does that
- Superior flow in and out (and in-between in jump combinations / sequences): ok, again, lets take your word and consider this does not happen
So when clean, she easily checks 3-4 bullet points for pretty much all of her jumps which makes it a +2.
