Combo Axels are easy since one doesn't or shouldn't lose speed. What I would like to read is if there is a reason for 3Flip/Lutz x 2Toe loop x2Loop as losing speed from 1st landing to just about a STOP on the last landing. Is the combo impossible for uniform speed?

It's difficult, but when he first came up or the year or two after, VdP had a 3/3/3 that was remarkable, because he kept flow throughout the jumps. However, I haven't found a link to the competition I first saw it. It was one of the GP events that year.

Certainly Zayak kept up speed in that 2A little jumps 3T sequence I linked to (or she wouldn't have gotten such a nice 3T on the end of it).

I don't know Zayak, but I recall Yagudin's 3 jump combo as having speed throughout, and no curling the last landing. I can imagine it is not easy to execute a flowing 3 jump combo. The slowdowns and stops in this 3 jump combo are, for me, almost as bad as a Fall. Yes, they completed the combo trick, but did it affect the flow of the program? after all, PC is concerned about the program at least in its title. No?
