Indeed.
Plus I saw your submission and tried to email you, but got an error message because gmail couldn’t deliver the mail.
I already posted about the snatch pull- close catch girl before. https://allthingsgym.com/2011/09/snatch-grip-pull-close-grip-catch/

Oh you did that already!!.. cool. I missed that. Wouldn’t that technique hinder her potential highest lift for the clean and jerk?

It adds one more thing to worry about.
Maybe this style is the result from an injury and now she stuck with it.
