She also pointed out more serious errors by the judges this season and expressed the opinion that Valieva’s judges’ scores may have been influenced by external factors. Vaitsekhovskaya concluded that such changes could only occur with explicit instructions, and if so, it could mean that Valieva had lost her “untouchable” status and been brought back to earth.
