On the other hand, ther difference between the flip and the Lutz has been increased. (Who is going to be the first to point poit that this hurts Mao Asada and helps Yu-na Kim. ) Maybe this is a forerunner to stricter edge calls.
Hmm, the thing is, I don't think it necessarily helps Yu-Na. It's not like Yu-Na only does the Lutz jump and not Flip; she does the Flip jump as well, so her score is hurt from the lower BV for 3F as well. Of course, she doesn't have two Flip jumps in LP like Mao does, but the lower scale of GOE for triple jumps will hurt her score just as much since she usually gets higher GOE than everyone else.
