I really can't see a problem with Marin's 3T or Yuna's 3Lz. I look at the trajectory of the jump and at the direction of the blade on landing. What are you looking at?
It's not me who complained about Alina's PCS.... or Marin or Sakamoto.
not sure about him anymore......the ladies happened while I was having a shift as well... how sad... it is interesting to see the results.
One thing, this mean Shin Amano will not be at WC.
I also don't like unfair UR calls. The thing is that we two obviously seem to have different assessment criteria when it comes to jump rotation. I agree with Mr. Amano on this one. The only question mark for me is Polina's 3Lz and the video angle for that isn't very good, so it's hard to tell. But she had problems with the 3T take-off so a UR on the 3Lz isn't unlikely because of that. We all know that Amano is a tough caller and that he doesn't care about nationality. Ask Mao. But this could be good for Polina in the long term, if this is really a problem for her and she didn't just have a bad day.
Agree. Kaori's jumps are clean as a whistle and airy and big with great flow out. Loved Eunsoo all this season. What personality she has. :luv17: Besides Polina, Marin has the most polish and sophistication of the junior ladies, but also jumps that are tight. -And if they are tight now, what happens when she grows a little more? But as of now, she's gorgeous and she skates like a dream.Since I'm at work, I haven't seen a lot yet, but I'm so heartbroken for Polina :sad21: She's my absolute favorite lady out there right now, junior or senior, and she is among the most talented skaters I've ever seen... to see her struggling so much is just such a punch in the gut. Injured right before JWC last season when she was by far and away the favorite, had to pull out of JGPF, out of Senior nats... her injury list is just so much longer then it should be for any 15 year old. I'm just hoping that she will come back in the LP and really deliver, pull up a few places and then stay injury free.
All that whining done, I think the 3T & 3Lo were definitely under. The 3Lz call was harsh and IMO wrong, but in the end, the jump still came done pretty close to borderline, so.... and Yuna Shiraiwas jumps were IMO more around. It's only a few degrees, but when it's around the 1/4 rotation point, it can make all the difference. So I wouldn't complain too much about the technical calls, and especially not talk about any hidden agendas with this.
(Why are Kaoris jumps being discussed at all? That 3T was a quad before it was an uderrotated triple. Girl had air time for days!)
On the other hand, I'm super happy for Eunsoo, hopefully she'll kill it in the LP too. Same for Kaori
disagree
