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! I'm pretty sure they meant the take off. Steps are a required element for a jump to be recognized after all.

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 That kinda didn't sound like takeoff to me, that's why I asked.

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.

March 24, 20188 yr 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. I just hope she gets the emotional support she needs...

As if Eteri isn't gonna rat her out first...

(I'm a new FS fan and I don't know much about Eteri, just that she coaches Zhenya and Alina). Eteri has a reputation of a very strict coach. 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.
