Based on your opinion, at 'Cup of China', since she took out the first bielmen, the bielmen of the last layback should be counted.
Well, it's not my opinion--it's the rule. But yes -- the Biellmann of the last spin (the layback) gets counted because it's the only one in the program. You're only allowed one Biellmann in the short program, and two in the long program.

Her layback gets a Level 4 as long as she holds each position for at least two revolutions. Each position not held for two revolutions downgrades the spin by one level.

good information. i wonder if Scrappy can do a live analysis when National gets broadcasted in the chat room. lol.
Eh, maybe. I tend to get too invested in what I'm watching to jot down all the technical stuff -- I'm a fan first, stat-freak second, lol.

Level 4 spiral and step sequences really aren't worth it -- they're only worth 0.3 more than Level 3's (not a huge margin when you compare it to spins--a Level 3 flying spin in 0.7 less than a Level 4). It's probably better to keep it shorter and save her leg energy for all those jumps -- the jumps are worth a lot more to her than the spiral sequence.
