If you compare Alina's lutzes now to when she won the Olympics, her lutz has indeed regressed significantly. The edge is shallower, more prerotation and more muscling of her jumps. I'm not going to comment on why, however. The videos are there for you to see.

Then there must be something related to body changes... even though Alina's body looks great, very fit and feminine but she also grew and filled a little bit. I still think that she needs a second chance for a better opinion because her jumps looked much better at the russian tests. On the same subject, Wakaba also has problems with her lutz, she used to jump 2 3lz-3t in the LP and now she can't land a proper lutz. I remember the same happened to Carolina and Kiira, when they were teenagers they both were good jumpers and had 3lz-3t and 3f-3t and then the lutz anf flip became their nemesis. Well, I hope I'm wrong, Alina had a great lutz, I hope she fix this, she really has the power.
