They could very well have been doing 180 knots indicated with a 30 knots tailwind at that stage. The wind could have dropped after that, or even turned into a headwind!! ... Tenerife South is well know for massive wind shifts/shears on final.
I didnt 'twist' them too much did I, the inference with your 'local knowledge' is plain to see.
