I'm confused about the spin entry/exit though. Can you use that feature to raise the level twice, if you do a difficult entry on one spin and difficult exit on another?
Finally a rule about the excessive pre-rotation! ...
Guys, Trusova and Shcherbakova always have excessively pre-rotated flips and lutzes....
Some skaters like Yuzuru, Nathan, Boyang, Kolyada, Yuna Kim, Kostner and Paganini need just a little tap in order to start rotating their jumps in the air.
Yes, I have heard this many times. But where is it stated in the rule book? I think it was - more than 180 degrees pre-rotation - downgrade.The acceptable degree of prerotation varies depending on the jump, as I understand. Because of the mechanics of the movement, loops and salchows can have up to 180 degrees of prerotation and I believe that's considered acceptable or even normal. For axels and edge jumps the allowable amount is less.
Well, Yuzuru Hanyu, Boyang Jin, and Mikail Kolyada are men. Yuna Kim and Alexia Paginini do not jump quads.
It may not be possible for a lady to do a quadruple jump without some pre-rotation and a lot of work on the ice before liftoff.

I do wish they hadn't used the sloppy fandom term 'full-blade' though. 'Poor toepicking technique' would be more accurate. Especially as every skater I've ever seen talking on the subject has said that it's impossible to even take off if your whole blade on the picking leg is on the ice - you don't go up, you wipe out!
Guys.. if I want to educate myself about the whole full blade assist thing and I'm more of a visual learner who should I watch to see what a non assisted jump looks like?

You may wanna correct that. .

Does the change in BV mean that we’ll start all over again with world records - with the last 2 seasons relegated to the historical records category?
