Having said that, there is another way to learn which jumps the skater is doing in the program. You need to open two windows on your computer. In one window have the Youtube performance of let's say Mao Asada's at NHK. In the second window open the ISU protocol. The protocol lists all of Mao's elements (jumps, spins, footwork, spiral) in the exact order in which they are performed. You refer to that while she is skating the program. You can pause, and go back as needed. I frequently use this technique when I want to verify a jump or a cheated jump or see why an element got a certain level.. In Kioewen's case you can do this with Emily's SP and LP at TEB. You can tell which jumps she attempts and see how they were scored and at the same time see her levels in the other elements. Emily usually attempts to do three toe assisted jumps - Flip, Lutz and Toe Loop. She does one edge triple - Salchow, never the triple loop. She does the beautiful double axel. If you watch often enough and you'll figure out which is which. For example, with the flip, there is usually a brush with the right foot, then a reach back with the same foot and the toe pick pushes in the ice and the skater jumps - rotates - etc. About COP: The PCS or Performance Component Score, supposedly evaluates things like chorography, interpretation, transitions, etc. However, judging artistic performance always manages to be subjective.
