...I am no expert in critiquing figure skating...
...but isn't one of the prerequisites to winning the Gold Medal in figure skating...
...is not falling onto the ice?
You can fall and still technically medal. It's based on the points of the overall program. 7 elements are required
,,,apparently this fall put her into last place...
...so the technical aspects of her performance didn't compensate for her failure to complete the program...
...in other words...
...she fell doing "elementary" level jumps....
...late uptoot...
...sorry....
