Analysis of a season

I collected results of past Kiira’s season: I divided them in SP and FS.
Sometimes, base value for an element was different from usual: numbered notes are referred to the value in that competition. I also added an average of Components of Kiira during all last season.
All data took from ISU (http://www.isu.org): note “dg” means “downgraded jump”.

No doubt: Kiira has at her bow some “strong weapons”, like Spirals Sequence and final Combination, and her Triple Loop is also very good. Everybody can make their own deductions from these numbers, but one thing is for sure, and I persist on my thought:
it seems choreography it hasn’t been for sure first of her problems, at all…
moreover, Kiira, what about Transitions? And linking steps? But, above all, I think she should work on her Performance/Execution… that’s the gap with the top, in my opinion.
I’d be interested in your opinion, Anna, ’cause I think you’re a competent person: what do you think about?
