In the oddest moment of Worlds 2014, so far, Bretschneider from Germany competed a HUGE new skill – double twisting Kovacs.
… He thought he did.
But what we saw was a routine with two full twisting Kovacs. The second one is no value and a deduction for repetition. 😦
This is a skill so difficult and scary that his mind defaulted to the “simpler” skill under pressure.
He can do it. Very well.
