Her skating is nice but she doesn't attempt the harder jumps like the flip or Lutz. I much prefer Miki Ando's routines as she's more aggressive & has more spring & technical difficulty (even her combos include double loops not double toe loops).
@stefan7171 She isn't capable of performing a lutz or flip at the moment because she is contending with a knee injury that requires surgery, which she has put off until next year. Her lutz and flip hurt her knee the most and are also her most aesthetically unappealing jumps. With such a limited jumping repertoire, she's had to focus on the other elements of her skating...so now she's actually watchable...more than watchable! Not doing the lutz or flip has benefited her immensely.
I think this is the best I've ever seen her skate. Delicate choreography that is very respectful to the music. I love the dropping of her arm over her head as the last pose. Plus...I liked that the camera cut to her applauding graciously after Alissa finished her program, and she waited for Alissa and congratulated her when she exited the "kiss and cry" area. Classy lady!
Surely Claude Debussy would be happy with such a beautiful, light & elegant fawn.
