But They Are So Consistent!

Let's get back to the skating for this post.

Davis and White are known to be consistent and rarely make mistakes.  Let's test that.

In a previous post we have already discussed how at the Grand Prix Final they received credit on their Finnstep when Meryl was on the wrong edge prescribed by the key point criteria.  Here is a look at their first grand prix competition Skate America.

This is the second keypoint element of the first Finnstep pattern.  To get the key point the lady must come out on an outside edge.  Meryl clearly came out on a flat edge, and leaned into the outside edge which should have resulted in a downgrade.  NOPE because her name ends with Davis she got credit for it.

In the third key point of the second pattern, both should be hitting outside edges when they place their right foot blades down, and Meryl is straddling the line between a flat and an outside edge.  Again, extremely lenient calls.  Also notice again their superior unison of their free legs, I can't even tell which leg is which.

Some say Davis and White's greatest strength is their consistency.  They consistently make mistakes and got credits for them.
