If you watch the first skier look at the inside ski activity compared to the others. Even though it's often late, in catching up, due to the release, it's the dominant movement. In the skiers that follow, there is little or no inside ski tipping co-ordinated with the releasing movement. With the Japanese skier there is a strong "A" frame push. Many of these demonstrators are way off with the boot alignment. The US demonstrator is skiing solely from big toe to big toe.
In evaluating these skiers it's obvious that their training and understanding of technique does not include the consistency of movements that link arcs. The releasing foot and leg movements just don't continue to move the skier's skis into the next arc. There is no High C. Everything breaks down in the transition, they don't even understand "Release, Transfer and Engagement" which has been out since, Book 1. The only team that shows the movements that link arcs are the Australians. And you don't have to guess where that came from???
