In these months we are talking a lot about the decline of the Ladies' jumps content, and it's now clear that most of the skaters who win the international events (including worlds/4CC/euros) aren't able to land even one clean 3Lz, and, considering that ten years ago you couldn't place on a World podium without a 3Lz, it's quite interesting, so I did a summary of the Ladies who currently use more than one 3Lz in their programs:
SENIOR LADIES WHO HAVE A TOTAL (SP+FS) OF THREE PLANNED 3Lzs:
Akiko Suzuki
Liza Tuktamysheva
Julia Lipnitskaya
Valentina Marchei
Agnes Zawadzki
Gracie Gold
Elene Gedevanishvili
Joshi Helgesson
Lena Marrocco
Polina Shelepen
SENIOR LADIES WHO HAVE A TOTAL (SP+FS) OF TWO PLANNED 3Lzs:
Elena Glebova
Ying Zhang
SENIOR LADIES WHO HAVE LANDED 3 CLEAN 3Lzs IN THIS PAST GP:
Liza Tuktamysheva
Valentina Marchei
Lena Marrocco (she received -0.30 GOE for her second 3Lz in her TEB FS, but I considered it clean)
SENIOR LADIES WHO HAVE LANDED 2 CLEAN 3Lzs IN THIS PAST GP:
Agnes Zawadzki
So, it's just 12 ladies! I think that, just in 2002, none of the Senior GP medalists had less than two 3Lzs planned; here, we have seven of the thirteen medalists with just one 3Lz planned and none of these seven, except Korpi, is able to land it withour receiving an "e" or "<" (please do not count Mao's and Wagner's "correct" edges at 2012 4CC, when the technical panel was really generous with them in this).
Do you think that icreasing the 3Lz BV would be (making it for example 6.3) would be useful? Or making it a compulsory jump to attempt in the SP, like it has been last season in the Juniors (I believe that, for example, Lipnitskaya has been forced to improve its edge because she had to perform it in the SP, and now she isn't receiving the "e" anymore)?
