I noticed her Grand Prix event is coming up at Cup of China. Has anyone seen her skate so far this season? Is she doing the Lutz & Flip jumps?

She competed a couple of weeks ago in Canada at Octoberfest.

In the short she did triple toe-double toe combination and a triple loop (same jump layout as last year).
In the long, her jumps consisted of triple salchow, triple toe, and triple loop.
So, it does not look like she is attempting either the triple flip or triple lutz in competition.

I love that, a planned flutz! That's what I've been saying all these years about the flutzers. It's an extra jump pass

Well, not in her case because she doesn't have Flip at all. Or should we say that she has a Flip with an unusual entrance but no Lutz?

Hey you guys Hacker has a diary from China on Ice Network. Not much talk about skating though!

That is actually a really interesting point. If she doesn't attempt a flip at all in the program. Then if i were her then i would submit the planed content sheet saying that the jump attempted in that spot will be a flip. When she does the jump, the callers will not be able to say wrong edge take off if she goes from the outside edge to the inside and can therefore avoid -GOEs.

Hacker's jump layout at her most recent competition (Octoberfest in Canada last month) was: 3T+2T, 3Lo and 2A in SP and in the FS, 3T+2T+2Lo, 3S, 3Lo, 3T, 3S, 2A+2T, 2A. One of her 3S may likely be in combo with a 2Lo.
ETA: Hacker's first 3S is supposed to be in combo with a 2Lo -- see the link posted in the planned program elements thread in the CoC forum: http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25056

Hacker does not plan to compete any longer next season. She's going to princeton next year. According to a recent interview, she's basically using this year's chance to compete internationally to travel and enjoy her life. She's obviously a very intelligent lady who has a passion for history.

Here's the program layout she filed at Cup of China (reference is on icenetwork)
I don't see any flips or lutzes.

If this is indeed the case, I wonder if she wishes she had pushed harder to attend worlds last year....
Hmm. She was one of the skaters whom I was impressed with in the 2008 Four continents championship. Best wishes for her new life, if that's true.
