Or does she rock back toward the flat but not go quite to an inside edge?

Michelle never had a solid/deep outside edge in her lutz. It was a pushed outside edge (like someone said, very similar to Akiko's) that wasn't 100% to the inside but wasn't a solid outside either, so depending on the jump the call could go either way.
Do any of Frank Carroll's students have really deep lutz edges? I know Mirai had that same shallow outside edge lutz take off when she was with him.
That was actually a very good outside edge! Yes, that was a clean lutz...Actually, Michelle did some really nice lutzes late in her career.

The lutz looks good to me--much better than in 1998.
British Eurosports also thought that it was much better there, referring to her history of taking off on an inside edge.
Oddly enough, her flip looks rather off an outside edge. I wonder if working on her lutz altered her flip.

Michelle's jumps overall really improved under Artunian--way at the end of her career. She was really an amazing athlete who no doubt could have adapted to the stricter scrutiny under COP.
