Well just limit the 2A back to only two. I for one, sick of seeing all the 2A poping up every where from every skaters.
To be hornest the only current top skaters with complete set of triple are: Miki, Joannie and Calrolina.
Yuna is banking too much on her 2A as safety net and Mao is banking on her 3A as cushion.
That's what I appreciate about Miki and Joannie. Their jumps look so solid and they attempt them all in their programs.
I don't understand why Miki and Mao are so often downgraded on their 3Loops in combination jumps, to the point where they don't attempt them anymore in competition. I feel like Miki always got so much height on her 3Loop as the second part of a combination and it always seemed really complete to me. Are the judges or tech specialists saying that she (and Mao) is cheating the 3Loop jump on the front end instead of on the landing? But that doesn't make sense. I always loved watching Miki and Mao with their huge 3?-3Loop combos, although there is also something very special about Yu Na with her 3F-3T and 3L-3T because she gets such air and distance.
And at least Yu Na goes for the very difficult 2A-3T combination in her programs which is 5.5 revolutions all at once. Carolina was never consistent at all with the 2A-3T. Mao should go for a solo 3A, ditch the planned second one, and add a 2A-3T later in her program to match Yu Na.
