I'm not sure if you mean the jumps, like from the moment she pulls back and leaps, or the part leading up to it? Because the part leading up to it is to fulfill the GOE bullet of clear steps before a jump, and she usually has complicated ones that looked just how you described when I started watching her, too! Expand I'm pretty sure they meant the take off. Steps are a required element for a jump to be recognized after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Quote Before she enters a jump she has this really long lead up to it, like she sticks her leg out and turns forwards and backwards etc. and then jumps Expand That kinda didn't sound like takeoff to me, that's why I asked.

But Kostornaia is making it pretty impossible. One plus is that she has awesome technique and that good foundation should put her in good stead for the long run. She really has it all.

theblingmonster Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I feel so bad for Alina after her FS, it must be so emotionally taxing on a 15 year old to have all that pressure to win gold at worlds right after you won gold at the olympics.

She also sounds like this her interviews (for ex.: http://fs-gossips.com/eteri-tutberidze-during-the-work-pity-does-not-help/ ) But, in fact, we do not know what happens behind closed doors.
