Click PLAY or watch Jordan on YouTube. (9.35 E)
Both very good. Jordan’s is clearly better in the air. But Aly had less landing deduction.
Let’s have computer analysis decide part of the score in future.

At Canadian Nationals, Mike Burns remarked that forward pirouette is a very risky skill. You can easily suffer a 0.3 deduction on an A-part. 😦

Some are complaining that score is too high. Close to perfect is 9.1 E-score, according to the good ladies of FIG.

I wouldn’t go 9.7 for Paul Ruggeri.

Elena DAVYDOVA was the 1980 Olympic all-around champion. She’s an expert judge. An active coach.
Kristina Vaculik was part of the Canadian record setting 5th place team rank at the London Olympics.
Her up-and-coming elites include Jade Chrobok and Ana Padurariu.
I can’t think of anyone I’d like more to be part of that committee. 🙂
Nellie Kim ran unopposed for Chair last cycle. This time Donatella SACCHI from Italy is nominated, as well.

And I love this new variation. 🙂
