I think Sasha believes she needs 3A to have a chance to beat Kamila but whatever she loses to other girls in SP if falling on it, she can make up for in FS with her quads - see Worlds 2021.

So sad that the "elite" of skating has already started spitting hatred on Anna, demanding that Liza be sent to the Olympics as if Liza were the queen of consistency.
Unable to forgive a mistake by Anna but can the mistakes of others be overlooked? It is truly surprising if we notice that it is the first time that Anna has lost a combination or fell in a triple jump in the last two seasons.

It wasn’t downgraded. It was BV 8bas per protocol
According to the ISU Protocol it was a 3A<< with a BV of 3.3. Otherwise the score wouldn't make sense.
Sorry, I thought you were referring to Sasha. My mistake

From Sasha (and Google Translate) -
"To give up triple axel means to lose, and I've been trying to do it for three years."

I saw reports of her practices. Her success rate is definitely nowhere near 70 percent. It's actually quite low. However, she wants to land it. It's important to her. She should do what she wants, everyone has different goals. She wants to set records and accomplish technical feats. Let her.

Absolutely. I just go by what she says.

Aha, "seen reports from practice". And that's why you fancy setting general percentages? That's ridiculous. Or do you have continuously recorded training sessions from Khrustalny available? Hardly likely.

Yeah I know Anna has 2 off skates by her her reputation and Liza had like 3 bad years after she won the world title in 2015 and hasn't won a medal at Russian nationals in 7 years. But the howling will really pick up if Anna does not make the podium.
Of course you never hear EG say anything publicly to protect Anna her 3rd daughter and it's starting to piss me off.

Unfortunately the bad skate in the SP proceeds a less than stellar FS at Nationals (which let's be real if you ignore the inflated Nationals score it wasn't terrible, she fell on a jump only a handful of skaters attempt and had an ugly landing on a backloaded triple-triple). I don't think Shcherbakova has a problem getting on the podium tomorrow unless she really screws up, but I don't know if an okay skate shuts up the press. I read a practice report that she didn't do any quads today though, she says the taped knee is not a problem but no quads the day prior to the FS sounds bad. Maybe they are just being conservative on her attempts since she was doing them a couple days ago.

Ok
. Happy to hear that! Love Sasha! I hope she fulfills her goals. In every practice session, I have watched she has landed a bunch of quads ( some which she went on to pop in the competitions) and really struggled with the 3A. If this changed, great! I'm happy to be proven wrong! Sasha's a favorite of mine, more for her personality than her skating. She's nerdy and adorable. I love her. So, I want only good things do her. Most important, stay healthy!

Well said!
At least one axel type jump must be completed.
