Another thread to bash Evgenia woo
I mean: after a lot of events, especially Grand Prix, Championships there are meetings of the judges. Obviously the majority doesn't have problems with it. Maximize points under the current system AN the way who judges usually understand it - that is the game one has to be able to play with the own capacities. Medvedeva's step sequence obviously is just the thing you have to do, in a clever way coreographed. As long as one doesn't gain more points with something more difficult than using little hops in between (for example doing the whole step sequence with one leg without interruption), it would be silly to do so, getting tired and having problems with jumping passes after that. As far as I remember, Davis/White used little hops quite often and came out on top with that. One may be called the most "aesthetic skater" of the event avoiding those methods to save energy, looking busy, gain speed, without a medal. The other one ends up winning gold. Who would not use some of the possibilities to gain additionel points with endless tanos and so on, as long he/she is able to do so?
