I guess Meissner toe-axled too. But by nemisis jump I mean a jump a skater leaves out because they can't do it or they fall on it. I think CoP as it has evolved has changed the calculations somewhat with the question being less "Can I land it?" to "Can I rotate it?"
IIRC Corwin did compete under CoP (at least when it was being beta-tested) in fact (drawing on my big store o' useless trivia) I'm pretty sure she was a surprise loser in the first ever senior CoP competition when the caller (Urmanov) downgraded most or all of her triples to doubles (the comp was won by .... Jennifer Don?)
I'm also drawing a blank on any skaters who couldn't do or regularly fell on the triple toe. Maybe some of the pairs skaters (Mandy Woetzel for example) but then for the pairs skaters that would have been their most difficult jump so it's a different thing altogether.
Or maybe John Baldwin since by all accounts he can do nearly all the triples but rarely if ever lands a triple toe SBS. Apparently he does land it solo fine it's just when he attempts it SBS with his partner that it goes wrong.
