I have a bad feeling about Zagitova in the matter. Shape of her body reminds me 13yo Yulia Lipnitskaya in 2011-2012 season, when she won everything at the junior level. The very next season Yulia had many problems.
Zagitova is a much stronger jumper than Julia to be fair. Her jumps are big and her body type seems more athletic. Julia had technique issues early on, she was muscling the jumps since she was a little kid, plus mule kick, change of edge on both lutz and flip on and off, very low 2a, etc. I don't seem the same red flags with Zagi's jumps.
