This was a botched second attempt at landing on an approach that should have never been commenced in a type that the crew were not familiar with, and on a day that precluded them to do it in accordance with the aircraft's limitations.

The stick push theory is nonsense. The aircraft was nowhere close to stalling and I'll bet the ranch that the report makes that clear. We'll see in time but of course you are free to speculate, just as I am.
