"The big change to jumps came in pairs: a pair cannot use the same type of jump in both side by side singles and combos/sequences, but they can use the same type of jump in the combo. A 3T and a 2T are the same type of jump. A jump can be repeated in combo.
Of the 19 couples who completed the LP in Moscow plus Shen/Zhao, only 11 can use the same attempted jumps from their 2004-5 programs in 2005-6:
Totmianina/Marinin (3S and 3T/2T)
Petrova/Tikhonov (3S and 2A+3T)
Zhang/Zhang (2A+3T, 3S)
Savchekno/Skolkowy (3T+3T, 2A)
Wakamatsu/Fecteau (3T+2T, 2A)
Inoue/Baldwin (3Lz, 2A+2A)
Volosozhar/Morozov (3T+3T, 3S)
Pla/Bonheur (3T+2T, 2S)
Rennik/Saks (2F+2S, 2T)
Spassova/Todorov (2S, 2F+2F)
Bogusklavska/Brovenko (2A, 2Lo+2T)
The pairs that will have to change their jumps from 2004-5 are:
Shen/Zhao (3T, 2A+3T)
Pang/Tong (3T+2A, 2A)
Obertas/Slavnov (3T+3T, 3T)
Zagorska/Siudek (3T+2T, 3T)
Marcoux/Buntin (3T+2T, 3T)
Orsher/Lucash (3T+2F, 3T)
Aganina/Knyazev (2A+2F, 2F)
Bestandigova/Bestandig (2A, 2A+2T)
Shapiro/Akolzin (2A, 2A + ?)"
Anyone feel like debating the significance of this change for the top 3-6 pairs, and what those without two different triples might have to do (other than learning a new triple) in other elements to stay competitive with those with two different triples?
