she also doesn’t get the lack of height
I’ve never watched the Gadirova’s live as I left the UK before they turned senior; but this is the comment I hear over and over again by people who have. The height in their leaps and the amplitude in their vaults is BIG. Very difficult to get that impression on a 2D screen.

It drives me potty that she’s never controlled her DTY. There’s always a large step or jump and given her block (though it’s not as good as last year) she should have managed to land one nicely by now.

I’ve mentioned her leaps before but the height of her double pike beam dismount really stands out in person (Cardiff/Liverpool).
 
It’s probably cold comfort for her, but even Maggio she had stuck the dismount instead of falling, she wouldn’t have medalled (she would have tied for 5th with Black). And I think besides her fall the rest of her routines were done pretty much as well as she could do them.
