Kaylia Nemour

[Yarotska]

I mean, to be fair to emilie, she did that exact same routine in the aa and probably in qualis

It was better in AA when she stuck the landing, but she got the exact same score lol

We deserved an Olympic gold medalist who did a Def

And we might get it again if Nakamura qualifies for and wins UB EF. Like I said before. the Olympic UB EF has the potential be the most exciting, even without any Russians.

The Def isn’t worth doing these days, with the ridiculous deduction for leg separation (nobody should be expected to keep their legs perfectly together on this skill FFS) and the inability to get good connection bonus from it. Nakamura is super talented but The Def and Piked Deltchev don’t do anything for her competitively. She needs to start training a routine like this to appease the code:

Inbar 1/1 + Layout Gienger
Downie + Pak
Komova + Bhardwaj
Maloney + Hecht 1/2
Giant 1/2 + giant + Double Front 1/2

Then she will be up to the “standard” 6.9 start value I’ve been talking about for the past year, that Nemour and Qiu Qiyuan have now achieved.
