I agree with you Lena (thanks for posting this!). I think it psyched her out some how and it set the tone for the remainder of her career. Just the same to me i was glorious-like her Espana Cani at 2010 Nationals. To me her LP was exquisite artistically though marred by mistakes.
@tinymavy I always thought she had a strong axel and I wonder that they never tried to train a triple axel for her. I believe she had the height at the top of her game.
@faeryquene I always wondered that as well. The axel was always one of her strongest jumps. She landed a quad salchow and could have had a 3A if she wanted.
wow! that was still amazing skating from her.. probably by far her best bodywise.... comparing her layback in this clip to her more recent competitions... you can tell her change of height changed her center of skating.
since she use to be a gymnist that could explain her flexibility and posture on the ice

still gorgeous. She had such a HUGE double axel for such a little girl, the ice coverage on that jump is amazing. This time just too big.
