I guess I must be watching a different video.
In the one I'm watching, her left leg is clearly coming off the pedal, and seeming to reach down, while her right leg is stationary. Of course, there's no certainty since the shot is framed too high.
However, we can give the rider some credit. She very carefully rode to the right edge, yet avoided going off the burm. Given the care and time involved, I'm comfortable in crediting her with the sense to note the drop and plant to plant the left foot on the high side.
But, as you pointed out, we're watching different videos, so there's no point in arguing ad nauseum.
