Tara's rep was built on the 3L-3L - no toe assist in between.
I don't think the 3A will be required for several years for the ladies.
Come on - everyone was talking about how a 3-3 is a must have to win since 1997. In the 6.0 system, the top ladies had enough to not need it to win every competition. Sure Sarah had 3-3's at Oly's, but it was also the flaws of the top3 and Sarah's joy that gave her an edge. She's never won the gold at any other competition even when she's had a 3-3 and others didn't. COP has certainly made the 3-3 a bonus, but before COP I wouldn't say that a 3-3 was required to win, as much as everyone said it would be.
The problem with the 3A is that it's being done by junior girls with immature bodies. Throw in hips & breasts & additional height might result in losing the jump at the Senior levels.
