Kamila Valieva

Nice layout - I can imagine an FP like that. And Toeloop queen hands down!
Besides, does Kamila have +3lo combo? I never saw any instagram post of her 3lz3lo but I think saw somewhere that she has it in training.
If she does, we can replace 3lo with 3lz and 3lz-3t with 3lz-3lo, which would increase her bv but that would be a risky layout considering the combos are her weak point IMO.
She's done Lz-Lo at RusNats practices.
I personally think there's no need for it right now, would be better to try and go for 2*3A, 2*4T and 4S free skate.
But it depends what's easier for her, because if Lz-Lo gets consistent, it can add 4-5 points to BV, it's a combo that gives a lot of advantages.
 
Would like

4T+2T
3A
4T
3S
3Lz+3Lo x
3Lz+3T+2Lo x
3F x

A +loop has been tradition for the ladies champ since 1998! ;) The 3S can be upgraded to a 4S when ready - and it prevents her from using a +3S, which isn't good (and a cranky caller can invalidate it if badly done, as has happened to Hanyu at 2014 Olympics). She also shows all the 6 types of jumps like this. They might switch a 4T into the second half by next season, though, so they can place the 3Lz+3Lo into the fist half if they want.
 
The reason why I don't see them messing with the back 3 is because they're stable and competitive with everyone but Anna/Sasha's (but this frontloaded part can make up for that, even before the 4S). It's also somewhat a part of the choreo and music. There's also the fact that all the Tutberidze ladies (sans Anna with the loop combo) have some variation of the last three jumps. I don't think they would risk messing with that, yet.

But I want to see the 4S move beyond instagram and into program, and I know Kamila can do it!
 
Next year Kamila with 3axel and good Pcs she might have 85-83 in SP. Nor Alexandra Nor Anna could win with a clear Kamila now.
It is very interesting watch how they will react.
 
Guys,
When will we see Kamila competing again? Can you you let me know the exact date? Thank you in advance.
 
You would have to change the choreo quite a bit for this. Her fourth jump passage comes right after the third and it's meant to be an easy jump.

In the long run I was thinking of dropping one of her two triple lutzes and thus upgrading her 4T-2T to 4T-3T.

4 ultra-c:s. One in each of the first three passages and a 4T at the beginning of the second half. Her 4T is really that good.

I've been thinking something like this:

3A
4T-3T
4S
3Lo

4T
3F-eu-3S
3Lz-3T

Or is it too risky to have 2 combos at the end? Maybe move the added jump(s) to one of those 1st half passages.

So, here her repeated jumps are 4T and 3T. She is the toe looping queen 👸
In time (or maybe by her next competition) I would be thrilled to see:

3A-2/3T
4S
4T-2/3T
3A

4T
3F-eu-3S
3Z

She's landed 3Z-3L before, so if she can add a --3L to one of her combos it would replace the value of a 2T. One can dream, right? lol

What would that score assuming two triples not doubles? (Sorry, 'rithmetic's not a strong point of mine.)
