I actually thought Zhenia's was worse than Ashley's, but Satoko's was ridiculous. With Ashley in the LP (this shows SP), I kept looking at her opening combo & couldn't figure out the underrotation deduction, but maybe it was for the toe loop takeoff and not the landing?
Well going by the starting point of toe pick leaving the ice to when the blade comes back down (just my method for better or for worse) which is the places I paused the video....Zhenia seems to be the only skater in this video not taking off at or over 180 degrees. She's probably right around 130'ish degrees
I literally went frame by frame until it looked like the skaters jumped and when they landed to select the pause points. Obviously not a full proof technique and vulnerable to the angle and things like that but I still think it helps add to the discussion in some level.
