They have very different style, even in jumping: Liza has speed going into her jumps, she rotates fast and her running edge is very deep. Li, instead, is a typical Asian jumper, her jumps are high and she has a very light flow landing them. The problem about Li is that sometimes she under-rotates jumps or has a wrong take-off edge. For those kind of mistakes you are surely going to receive a negative goe (according to the rule), which is such a pity, she she should work on it. Actually, after reading your comment, I checked all liza's and Li's goe for jumps at yog free skate and made a sort of comparison. Liza received 1.79 points overall more than Li, so I do not see such a differenceAngele Scibiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864467917605448715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1908611621754091131.post-8783521236086375982012-01-21T06:02:47.290+01:002012-01-21T06:02:47.290+01:00why is it that li zijun doesn't get more GOEs ...why is it that li zijun doesn't get more GOEs on her jumps? I think they look really clean and light and airy, like Mao's in 2004 and 2005. Liza seems to have the same style of jumping but gets higher GOEs. I love Liza. I'm just confused why bigger jumps seem to be rewarded so much. And why Zijun seems so underscored to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
