I don't see it as one of the best even if her edge was correct. She doesn't get high enough on it and she isn't all the way around in the air, not even considering how she does a half-turn on the takeoff with the toepick, instead of vaulting into the air straight back from the toepick. She does have the arm position, but so did Brian Boitano, and he jumped higher and didn't cheat his rotation at all.
She doesnt get it if you compare it with Caro or Liza lutz with nothing before and after the jump happening.. Zhenya jump in this case is not just the simple jump in the air, it is something + jump + something, all of that is one jumping element. Im not trying to defend the judges, im just saying it is a different element as a whole to be judged the same way Caro jump is judged, and ISU thinks how that way is also the valuable one, obviously... And they have very logical reason for that, which i can explain but i got some other posters who are sending me the private messages all the time i need to deal with :cool14:
