Valentina used to include the flip in her programs during both the 2010-2011 and the 2011-2012 seasons, then she never actually attempted it last year (excpet Worlds, ehere she popped it), and now she's doing it again, and the edge looked really improved...
Those were her really bad seasons. I remember her always with lutz and salcow in the short and 2 triple lutzes in the long but you should know better about her flip. I am no expert with those edges but I also thought her flip looked pretty good, enough good to include it in her long program. I hope that later we will also see (thanks to the flip) the 2A-3T she did so well at Euros. Uf, couldn't she just be only 18 years old?? It makes me sad knowing this is her last season and she still hasn't shown her full potential.
