Hi everyone,

I have a question.

Under the CoP, which would score more points?

A) Triple Toe- Triple Toe Combo

OR

B) Triple Toe-Double Toe Combo
& a Triple Toe Solo

A or B

The reason I ask is I wonder if athletes such as Michelle needs a triple-triple or will landing 7 clean triples be enough.

OK, I'll bite. (Even if triples are not in the realm of possibilities for me - I'm applying double/single logic here).

I would say a triple toe-triple toe would have more value than a triple toe-double toe and a solo triple toe. This is because with a triple toe-double toe, you've already shown that you can do the triple toe (a relatively easy jump on the triple totum pole), so the second solo triple toe loses it's importance. Of course, the key is doing them well, and cleanly, which is the really hard part.
