In order to maximize the points for jumps, the minimum requirement is 2 triple lutzes and 2 triple flips. How many attempted them besides Sasha and Michelle? Maybe not many in the last Worlds but this jump layout will become the new standard in future the way 2 lutzes were in the mid 90s onwards, IMHO. There is no better way to maximize the points for a 6-triple program.
Good for Michelle, thank god her 3f is much stronger than her 3l. Her 3f was even awarded 0.71 GOE and her 3l would have probably been downgraded or given minus GOE had she attempted it. Besides the 3f is worth more than the 3lp in base points. So it was a smart choice after all to leave out the individual 3l completely. Her 3lp would be executed only in a 3/3 for the 7 jumping passes. Looking back at the reports of her practising the 3t/3l prior to 2005 Worlds, it all makes sense to me now.
