I wonder if any high profile already had a planned 2F or 2Lz in the free skate. It might worth it BV and GOE wise but judges probably expect more.
I've been saying since the 2010-2011 season than a planned 2Lz is a benefit for many of the Ladies. Nobody has taken advantage of it, except for the very low level competitors who only have 3T and 3S for Triples, and need to fill their last jump box with another element. Yu-Na Kim could have still been doing her very impressive 2A+3T (and had higher base value) by throwing in a 2Lz at the end of the program, and Kostner with that boring 3T+2T could have been doing 2Lz+3T instead.
