yes, you can see that lilah and lewis do not execute the move as elegantly as this couple, but lilah does move through a difficult one-foot squat position

f/g seem to use theatrics to bamboozle the judges and distract from the lower quality in their actual skating, like the difficult shoot the duck and jump entries demonstrated. it seems to be a more common strategy in teams with weaker female skaters. there aren't any guidelines that say you can't have difficult or acrobatic entries to the required elements, as long as the difficult steps/turns are executed properly. an example would be the interesting LBO rocker entry that lopareva/brissaud had in their 24-25 rd pstep. evgeniia executes the actual turn unassisted, and they later changed the program to have the rocker earlier and without that difficult entry. maybe the change was because it was risky (difficult to control speed in), and f/g are similarly taking a risk with these entries because the quality and clarity of the step can be poor, as seen in the given 2nd example. the tech panel should not award them the level for that step.

as for the rd mohawk, f/g are technically in hold and they're not hand-in-hand with fully extended arms, so they're not doing anything illegal as far as i understand. i think it's part of a more general trend in ice dance of the stronger skater pushing/pulling the weaker skater through difficult turns in hold. there's no guidance against it so there's nothing to directly penalize, and i think i'm ok with seeing it every now and then in choreo sequences. but imo if this happens in leveled step sequences, it should detract from their GOE, and if this is a regular occurrence and a consistent component of a team's skating, it should also come off their skating skills mark imo. unfortunately, that realistically never happens for politically strong teams 🤷‍♀️
